Math Problem Statement

Find the size of angle m in the given quadrilateral with angles 86°, 67°, and 90° (right angle) provided.

Solution

To determine the size of angle mm, we will use the properties of angles in a quadrilateral.

Step 1: Identify the known angles

  • Given angles: 8686^\circ and 6767^\circ.
  • The small square at the bottom right indicates a right angle, which is 9090^\circ.

Step 2: Use the sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral

The sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is always 360360^\circ.

Sum of all angles=360\text{Sum of all angles} = 360^\circ

86+67+90+m=36086^\circ + 67^\circ + 90^\circ + m = 360^\circ

Step 3: Solve for mm

m=360(86+67+90)m = 360^\circ - (86^\circ + 67^\circ + 90^\circ)

m=360243m = 360^\circ - 243^\circ

m=117m = 117^\circ

Thus, the value of angle mm is 117°.
