Use the image to answer the question.
Two angles with vertices upper A and upper B. Two rays extend indefinitely from each vertex.
Sam constructed ∠B
as a copy of ∠A
using a straightedge and compass. If the measure of ∠A
is 42 degrees, what is the measure of ∠B
?

The measure of the copy of the angle that Sam created is
degrees.
The measure of angle B is also 42 degrees.
In the given image, two angles are shown with vertices A and B. Two rays extend indefinitely from each vertex. Sam constructed angle B as a copy of angle A using a straightedge and compass. We need to find the measure of angle B if angle A is 42 degrees.
Since angle B is a copy of angle A, that means both angles are congruent. Therefore, the measure of angle B will be the same as the measure of angle A, which is 42 degrees.
So, the measure of the copy of the angle that Sam created is 42 degrees.
