Sales as an indicator: Two business may have the same sales but one has a low margin and low input costs making it a smaller business

Number of employees: Two companies have 100 employees but one manufactures large complex objects (EG: drilling rigs) The other is a store in the mall. The store in the mall will be the smaller company.

Profit: Many large companies loose money, many small companies make a profit.

Assets: A company may lease all its production material while the next owns its assets making it a larger company.

And so many more examples

The key is to use several indicators and make sure you are comparing Apples to Apples.

What is the measure of angle 2 if the measure of x is 86?

In order to answer that, I'd have to know the relationship between angle-2 and 'x'. A drawing or a sketch would be a great way to explain that, if you had one. In fact, if you'll take another quick look in the book or the homework sheet that you copied the question from, I may be way out of line, but I'm guessing there's a little sketch or drawing there, somewhere real near the question. Spend a few minutes looking at it, and I'll just bet you might be able to answer the question on your own.
