Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the measure of angle in the diagram, let's analyze the given information step-by-step.
Step-by-Step Solution
-
Identify given angles and relationships:
- We have .
- .
- .
- and are supplementary, as they form a straight line on .
-
Calculate using the straight line relationship: Since and are supplementary, they add up to :
-
Substitute into the angles:
- .
- .
-
Determine : is the angle adjacent to , and together they form a straight line. Therefore, they add up to :
Conclusion
The measure of is , but none of the answer choices provided (29°, 58°, 122°, 140°) include this value.
It appears there may have been a misalignment in the answer options with the actual solution, as the correct answer based on the given information and calculations is 87 degrees.
