CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The two co-interior angles are 124° and .
Their halves are 62° and 28°.
These halves are two angles of the triangle formed at P, so the angle at .
Worth noting
It is always 90°: the two halves always add to 90° because the full angles add to 180°.
