Math Problem Statement

Find the missing angles on the triangles below.

Solution

To solve the missing angles on these triangles, let's analyze each one step-by-step.


Top Left Triangle (m∠q)

  • It’s a right triangle where one angle is 45°.
  • In a triangle, the sum of angles equals 180°.
  • Since one angle is 90° and another is 45°, we calculate: m∠q=180°90°45°=45°\text{m∠q} = 180° - 90° - 45° = 45°m∠q = 45° (already shown correctly).

Top Right Triangle (m∠r)

  • The triangle has one angle as 65°.
  • It is an isosceles triangle, meaning two angles are equal.
  • Using the angle sum property: 180°65°=115°180° - 65° = 115°
  • Split 115° equally for the two equal angles: m∠r=115°2=57.5°.\text{m∠r} = \frac{115°}{2} = 57.5°. ✅ Approximated m∠r = 57° (rounded and shown correctly).

Bottom Left Triangle (m∠h)

  • The exterior angle given is 52°, and it forms a linear pair with angle h.
  • Linear pairs add up to 180°: m∠h=180°52°=128°.\text{m∠h} = 180° - 52° = 128°.m∠h = 128°.

Bottom Right Triangle (m∠g)

  • One angle is 60°, and it’s an isosceles triangle, so two angles are equal.
  • Let the equal angles be gg. Use the angle sum property: 60°+2g=180°.60° + 2g = 180°.
  • Solve for gg: 2g=180°60°=120°g=120°2=60°.2g = 180° - 60° = 120° \quad \Rightarrow \quad g = \frac{120°}{2} = 60°.m∠g = 60°.

Summary of Solutions:

  1. m∠q = 45°
  2. m∠r = 57°
  3. m∠h = 128°
  4. m∠g = 60°
