Statement B could be used in step 2 when proving x = 30. ORP and ORN are linear pairs. Option B is correct.
An angle measure is the measurement of the angle created by two rays or arms at a shared vertex in geometry. A protractor is used to measure angles in degrees (°).
The complete question is;
Given: mORP = 80°
mORN = (3x + 10)°
Prove: x = 30
Which statement could be used in step 2 when proving x = 30?
A. ORP and ORN are a linear pair
B. ORP and ORN are vertical angles
C. 80 = 3x +10
D. x = 30
A linear pair is a pair of neighboring angles created by the intersection of two lines. A linear pair's two angles are always complimentary, which implies their measurements sum to 180°.
It is obtained that ORP and ORN are a linear pair;
∠ORP+ ∠ORN = 180°
[tex]\rm 80^0+ (3x + 10)^0=180^0\\\\ 3x=180^0-90^0\\\\ x=\frac{90^0}{3}\\\\ x=30^0[/tex]
The value of x will be 30°. Statement B could be used in step 2 when proving x = 30. ORP and ORN are linear pairs.
Hence, Option B is correct.
