Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve for the measures of angles 1 through 7 in the given diagram, let's apply the rules for parallel lines cut by a transversal.
- Lines m and n are parallel.
- Line t is the transversal.
Angle relationships:
- Corresponding angles: Angles in matching corners when two lines are crossed by another line (transversal). For example, angle 1 and angle 5 are corresponding.
- Alternate interior angles: Angles on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the parallel lines. For example, angle 3 and angle 5 are alternate interior angles.
- Vertical angles: Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines, and they are always equal. For example, angle 1 and angle 3 are vertical angles.
- Supplementary angles: Angles that add up to 180° because they form a straight line.
Given:
- m∠3 = 57°, as shown in the diagram.
Now let's find the measures of all the angles:
- m∠1 = m∠3 = 57° (Vertical angles)
- m∠5 = m∠1 = 57° (Corresponding angles)
- m∠7 = m∠5 = 57° (Vertical angles)
- m∠2 = 180° - m∠1 = 180° - 57° = 123° (Supplementary to angle 1)
- m∠4 = m∠2 = 123° (Vertical angles)
- m∠6 = m∠2 = 123° (Corresponding angles)
Final answers:
- m∠1 = 57°
- m∠2 = 123°
- m∠3 = 57°
- m∠4 = 123°
- m∠5 = 57°
- m∠6 = 123°
- m∠7 = 57°
