Math Problem Statement

Find the measures of all eight angles given the following information: 1. m∠2 = 91° 2. m∠3 = 75° 3. m∠8 = x 4. m∠1 = 2x and m∠2 = 3x 5. m∠1 = 5x - 10 and m∠2 = 8x + 34 6. If m∠A = 52°, find m∠B, m∠C, and m∠D in a quadrilateral. 7. If m∠D = 2m∠C, find m∠A, m∠B, m∠C, and m∠D in a quadrilateral.

Solution

Let's break down the problem shown in the image into individual exercises. I will help you solve each one step by step.

For the first diagram (with the intersecting lines):

You are tasked with finding the measures of all eight angles, labeled from 1\angle 1 to 8\angle 8, given the following information:

  1. m2=91m\angle 2 = 91^\circ
  2. m3=75m\angle 3 = 75^\circ
  3. m8=xm\angle 8 = x

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. If m2=91m\angle 2 = 91^\circ:

    • 2\angle 2 and 7\angle 7 are vertically opposite angles, so m7=91m\angle 7 = 91^\circ.
    • 2\angle 2 and 3\angle 3 are supplementary angles because they form a straight line. Therefore: m3+m2=180m\angle 3 + m\angle 2 = 180^\circ Since m2=91m\angle 2 = 91^\circ, we get: m3=18091=89m\angle 3 = 180^\circ - 91^\circ = 89^\circ
    • Vertically opposite angles 1\angle 1 and 2\angle 2 are also equal, so m1=89m\angle 1 = 89^\circ.
  2. If m3=75m\angle 3 = 75^\circ:

    • 3\angle 3 and 6\angle 6 are vertically opposite angles, so m6=75m\angle 6 = 75^\circ.
    • 3\angle 3 and 2\angle 2 are supplementary, but since m2m\angle 2 has already been determined as 91° (not 105°), we cannot use the information to revise this measure directly.
