Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the image, we have intersecting lines that form several angles. One of the angles is labeled as , and the other two missing angles are labeled as and . Here's how we can solve for these angles:
-
Vertical Angles: Vertical angles are equal. Since the angle is vertically opposite to angle , we know that:
-
Linear Pair: Adjacent angles that form a straight line sum up to . The angles and form a straight line, so: Substituting into this equation: Solving for :
Thus, the values of the missing angles are:
