Answer:
• m∠1 =168 degrees
,
• m∠2 =12 degrees
Explanation:
From the diagram, Angles 1 and 2 are on a straight line.
We know that the sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees.
Therefore:
[tex]m\angle1+m\angle2=180^0[/tex]
Substituting the given values, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x+x-9=180^0 \\ 9x=180+9 \\ 9x=189 \\ x=\frac{189}{9} \\ x=21 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The measures of angles 1 and 2 are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m\angle1=8x=8\times21=168^0 \\ m\angle2=x-9=21-9=12^0 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The measures of angles 1 and 2 are 168 degrees and 12 degrees respectively.
