Verified Answer :

m<8 = m<1 = 61.8°

m<6 = 180 - m<8
m<6 = 180 - 61.8
m<6 =  118.2

answer: D.118.2

we know that

m∠1+m∠2=\(180\°\) -------> by supplementary angles

we have

m∠1=\(61.8\°\)

substitute

m∠2=\(180\°-61.8\°=118.2\°\)

m∠6=m∠2 -------> by corresponding angles

so

m∠6=\(118.2\°\)

therefore

the answer is the option D

\(118.2\°\)
