Math Problem Statement

If m∠BGC = 69°, then what is m∠DGA?

Solution

We are given that mBGC=69m \angle BGC = 69^\circ and we need to find mDGAm \angle DGA.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Identify vertical angles:

    • Angle BGC\angle BGC is vertically opposite to DGA\angle DGA, because they are formed by the intersection of two straight lines (the horizontal line ABAB and the diagonal line DFDF).
    • Vertically opposite angles are always equal. Thus, mDGA=mBGCm \angle DGA = m \angle BGC.
  2. Apply the given information:

    • Since mBGC=69m \angle BGC = 69^\circ, we conclude that mDGA=69m \angle DGA = 69^\circ.

Final Answer:

mDGA=69m \angle DGA = 69^\circ

Here are five related questions to consider:

  1. How do you identify corresponding angles in a similar diagram?
  2. What are the properties of vertically opposite angles?
  3. How can you calculate the sum of angles around a point?
  4. How would this problem change if another angle were given instead of BGC\angle BGC?
  5. Can vertically opposite angles be unequal under any conditions?

Tip: Always remember, vertically opposite angles formed by intersecting lines are congruent, which is a helpful property in many geometric problems.
