Question

write an equation to show how m∠1 and m∠2 are related.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Angle Relationship

From the diagram, \( \angle1 \) and \( \angle2 \) form a linear pair (they are adjacent and their non - common sides form a straight line).

Step2: Recall Linear Pair Property

A linear pair of angles is supplementary, which means the sum of their measures is \( 180^\circ \). So, we can write the equation \( m\angle1 + m\angle2 = 180^\circ \).

Answer:

\( m\angle1 + m\angle2 = 180^\circ \)
