Math Problem Statement
find the missing angles
Find the missing angle in an intersecting line where one angle is 105°.
Solution
The image shows two intersecting lines that form four angles. Two of the angles are marked, one with and the other with . Since these are vertically opposite angles, they are equal.
Step-by-step Solution:
-
Identify the Angles:
- The angles marked and are vertically opposite.
- Vertically opposite angles are equal. Therefore, .
-
Find the Other Pair of Vertically Opposite Angles:
- The sum of angles on a straight line is .
- Thus, the angle adjacent to is:
- The angle vertically opposite to is also .
Conclusion:
- The other two angles are each.
