Math Problem Statement

What is m∠1 in the triangle where the other two angles are 54° and 32°?

Solution

The given image shows a triangle with two known angles, 54° and 32°. The task is to find the measure of the missing angle, which is labeled as m1m \angle 1.

In a triangle, the sum of all interior angles is always 180°. Therefore, we can use this fact to find m1m \angle 1.

Let m1m \angle 1 represent the unknown angle.

m1+54+32=180m \angle 1 + 54^\circ + 32^\circ = 180^\circ

Simplifying:

m1=1805432m \angle 1 = 180^\circ - 54^\circ - 32^\circ

m1=18086=94m \angle 1 = 180^\circ - 86^\circ = 94^\circ

Thus, the measure of m1m \angle 1 is:

m1=94m \angle 1 = 94^\circ

Would you like more details or have any other questions?

Here are five related questions:

  1. How can we prove the sum of angles in any triangle is 180°?
  2. What is an exterior angle of a triangle, and how is it related to interior angles?
  3. Can a triangle have more than one obtuse angle? Why or why not?
  4. What is the difference between acute, obtuse, and right angles in a triangle?
  5. How can you find missing angles in other polygons?

Tip: Always remember that the sum of the interior angles in any polygon can be calculated using the formula (n2)×180(n - 2) \times 180^\circ, where nn is the number of sides of the polygon.
