Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down and solve the problems from the image you uploaded:
Part a) (i)
This is a triangle, and we are asked to calculate angles and .
- We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always .
- Given that one of the angles is , and the triangle is isosceles (since two sides are marked as equal), the two unknown angles, and , must be equal.
Therefore, we can calculate: Since , we can substitute for :
So, and .
Part a) (ii)
This is a triangle with two angles and unknown, and we are given a exterior angle and a angle inside the triangle.
- We know that the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles: Thus:
- Now, to find , we use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is : Substituting the value of :
So, and .
Part b)
In this irregular quadrilateral, we are asked to calculate the angles and .
-
We know the sum of the angles in any quadrilateral is .
-
Given that the known angles are , , and , we can calculate using:
-
Next, is the supplementary angle to , as they are on a straight line:
So, and .
