Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down the information from the diagram and solve the problems step by step.
Given:
- bisects .
- .
- .
This forms a triangle with several important geometric properties due to the bisector and parallel lines. We'll use these facts to find the angles as requested in questions 26 to 30.
Question 26: Find
- Since and , is a right angle.
- Therefore, .
Question 27: Find
- bisects , meaning it divides into two equal angles.
- Since , we know .
- Thus, .
- Therefore, .
Question 28: Find
- Triangle is a right triangle (from question 26, ).
- Using the triangle sum theorem: Substituting known values: Solving for :
Question 29: Find
- As found earlier, bisects , so .
Question 30: Find an angle congruent to
- By the parallel line property, corresponds to because of alternate interior angles (since ).
- Therefore, .
