Find the measure of the missing angles.
Solution
In the diagram, we are dealing with two angles, and , where the sum of the angles forms two sets of relationships:
- and the given angle form a linear pair, meaning they are supplementary (add up to ).
- and form a right angle (as indicated by the small square marking), meaning they add up to .
Step-by-step solution:
-
For :
Since and are on a straight line, they are supplementary: Solving for : -
For :
The angle and are complementary, as they form a right angle: Solving for :
