In a geometric diagram a and b are complimentary and they form a straight line. With C if MA equals X and MB equals 2X and MC equals 90. What is the measure of b
In a geometric diagram where a and b are complementary angles that form a straight line, their sum is always equal to 180 degrees.
Let's assume the measure of angle a is A degrees.
Since a and b are complementary, the measure of angle b would be 180 - A degrees.
In the given information, it is mentioned that angle MC equals 90 degrees.
Now, we can form the equation based on the given information:
A + (180 - A) + 90 = 180
A + 180 - A + 90 = 180
270 = 180
The equation is contradictory, and there is no possible value of A that satisfies this equation.
Therefore, there is no unique measure of angle b that can be determined based on the given information.
