Question

find the measure of the missing angle.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
a =

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of adjacent angles on a straight line

Adjacent angles on a straight line sum to \(180^{\circ}\). So, \(118^{\circ}+a = 180^{\circ}\).

Step2: Solve for \(a\)

Subtract \(118^{\circ}\) from both sides of the equation: \(a=180^{\circ}- 118^{\circ}\).

$$a = 62^{\circ}$$

Answer:

\(62\)
