Math Problem Statement

Calculate each numbered angle in the given geometric diagram.

Solution

Let's analyze the diagram to calculate each numbered angle.

Key observations:

  • The triangle DEFDEF has isosceles sides DEDE and DFDF as marked with congruent lines (6 and 7), which helps deduce symmetry in angles.
  • ABGFABGF is a quadrilateral with a right angle at AA and FF, and we have given angle measures at FF and GG.
  • Some angles are connected to parallel lines due to the shape of the quadrilateral and the transversal crossing the parallel lines.

Let's go through each numbered angle:

1. Angle 1 (at AA)

  • A\angle A forms part of a right angle in quadrilateral ABGFABGF.
  • Since quadrilateral ABGFABGF contains two right angles at AA and FF, we know 1=90\angle 1 = 90^\circ.

2. Angle 2 (at BB)

  • 2\angle 2 is adjacent to angle 1 and together they form a straight line at BB. So: 1+2=180\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 180^\circ 2=18090=90\angle 2 = 180^\circ - 90^\circ = 90^\circ

3. Angle 3 (at BB, part of triangle BCFBCF)

  • 3\angle 3 forms part of triangle BCFBCF.
  • We know that 4=32\angle 4 = 32^\circ and F=90\angle F = 90^\circ.
  • Using the triangle angle sum property: 3+4+F=180\angle 3 + \angle 4 + \angle F = 180^\circ 3+32+90=180\angle 3 + 32^\circ + 90^\circ = 180^\circ 3=180122=58\angle 3 = 180^\circ - 122^\circ = 58^\circ

4. Angle 4 (given at CC)

  • 4\angle 4 is already given as 3232^\circ.

5. Angle 5 (at CC, between triangles DCEDCE and DCFDCF)

  • Since triangle DCEDCE is isosceles (DE=DFDE = DF), angles at DD and EE are equal. Let’s denote them as xx.
  • Using the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle equals 180°: x+x+32=180x + x + 32^\circ = 180^\circ 2x=1482x = 148^\circ x=74x = 74^\circ
  • Therefore, angle 5 is 7474^\circ.

To summarize:

  • 1=90\angle 1 = 90^\circ
  • 2=90\angle 2 = 90^\circ
  • 3=58\angle 3 = 58^\circ
  • 4=32\angle 4 = 32^\circ
  • 5=74\angle 5 = 74^\circ

Would you like more details on any specific angle? Here are some related questions to expand on this:

  1. Why is angle 3 calculated based on the triangle angle sum property?
  2. How does the isosceles triangle property help calculate angle 5?
  3. What are alternate interior angles, and how might they help with parallel lines?
  4. Can we verify the angle measures by calculating the interior angles of quadrilateral ABGFABGF?
  5. Are there any other geometric properties visible in this diagram (e.g., congruence)?

Tip: When solving geometric problems, always look for congruent sides and angles to simplify your work.
