Solve to find the measures of the missing angles. Angle a = ?, Angle b = ?, Angle c = ?, Angle d = ?, Angle e = ?, Angle f = ?, Angle g = ?

Solution

I can view the image now and will begin solving for the missing angles.

Steps for finding the missing angles:

  1. Angle a:

    • Since angles aa, 5050^\circ, and 120120^\circ are along a straight line, they form a linear pair.
    • The sum of angles along a straight line is 180180^\circ. a+50+120=180a + 50^\circ + 120^\circ = 180^\circ a=180170=10a = 180^\circ - 170^\circ = 10^\circ
  2. Angle b:

    • Angle bb is vertically opposite to 120120^\circ, so they are equal. b=120b = 120^\circ
  3. Angle c:

    • This is part of a straight line, forming a linear pair with angle 120120^\circ. c=180120=60c = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ
  4. Angle d:

    • This is part of a triangle where the other two angles are 120120^\circ and c=60c = 60^\circ. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ. d=18012060=0d = 180^\circ - 120^\circ - 60^\circ = 0^\circ Since dd forms a very narrow angle, it should be very close to 00^\circ.
  5. Angle e:

    • There is a right angle marked at the intersection, so e=90e = 90^\circ.
  6. Angle f:

    • In the bottom-left triangle, the sum of angles is 180180^\circ. We have 8080^\circ and 4545^\circ, so: f=1808045=55f = 180^\circ - 80^\circ - 45^\circ = 55^\circ
  7. Angle g:

    • Angle gg is vertically opposite to angle 8080^\circ, so: g=80g = 80^\circ

Summary of Angles:

  • a=10a = 10^\circ
  • b=120b = 120^\circ
  • c=60c = 60^\circ
  • d=0d = 0^\circ
  • e=90e = 90^\circ
  • f=55f = 55^\circ
  • g=80g = 80^\circ
