Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of the missing angles d, e, and f.

Solution

To solve for the missing angles dd, ee, and ff, we need to analyze the geometric relationships in the diagram.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Angle dd:

    • Notice that angle dd is adjacent to a right angle. Therefore, angle d=90d = 90^\circ.
  2. Angle ee:

    • Angles ee and the 151151^\circ angle form a linear pair (they are on a straight line).
    • Therefore, e+151=180e + 151^\circ = 180^\circ.
    • Solving for ee:
      e=180151=29.e = 180^\circ - 151^\circ = 29^\circ.
  3. Angle ff:

    • Angles ee and ff are vertically opposite angles, so they are equal.
    • Therefore, f=e=29f = e = 29^\circ.

Final Answer:

  • d=90d = 90^\circ
  • e=29e = 29^\circ
  • f=29f = 29^\circ
