Question 6
- When two straight lines intersect, the angles opposite each other are vertical angles. By the vertical angles theorem, vertical angles are equal (congruent).
- Angles that are next to each other (share a side) when two lines intersect are adjacent angles. These adjacent angles form a linear pair, so they are supplementary (their sum is \(180^\circ\)).
Step1: Identify the angle relationship
The diagram shows a right angle (marked with the red square), so the sum of the \(41^\circ\) angle and angle \(b\) is \(90^\circ\) (since they are complementary angles, adding up to a right angle).
Step2: Calculate angle \(b\)
We use the formula \(41^\circ + b = 90^\circ\). To find \(b\), we subtract \(41^\circ\) from \(90^\circ\).
Step3: Perform the subtraction
