Math Problem Statement

calculate the missing sides

Solution

Let's solve for the missing angles in each of the given figures.

1. Triangle with angles 70° and 50°:

We need to find angle aa.

In a triangle, the sum of the interior angles is always 180°. a+70+50=180a + 70^\circ + 50^\circ = 180^\circ a=1807050a = 180^\circ - 70^\circ - 50^\circ a=60a = 60^\circ So, angle A=60A = 60^\circ.

2. Triangle with angles 34° and 78°:

We need to find angle ZZ.

Again, the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180°. Z+34+78=180Z + 34^\circ + 78^\circ = 180^\circ Z=1803478Z = 180^\circ - 34^\circ - 78^\circ Z=68Z = 68^\circ So, angle Z=68Z = 68^\circ.

3. Circle with central angle and intersecting chords:

Given: AOD=33\angle AOD = 33^\circ and we need to find B\angle B.

To solve this problem, we need to understand the properties of angles in a circle.

  • The central angle AOD=33\angle AOD = 33^\circ.
  • AOD\angle AOD subtends the arc ADAD.
  • The angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc (ABD\angle ABD) is half of the central angle.

ABD=12×33=16.5\angle ABD = \frac{1}{2} \times 33^\circ = 16.5^\circ

For angle B\angle B, we use the fact that angles subtended by the same arc are equal.

Since ABD\angle ABD is the angle at the circumference subtended by arc ADAD, and B\angle B is the same arc subtended at point CC, thus, B=16.5\angle B = 16.5^\circ So, angle B=16.5B = 16.5^\circ.
