Math Problem Statement
Find the measure of the missing angles: Given a diagram with angles x and y, and an angle of 64°.
Solution
The diagram shows two missing angles, and , along with a given angle of . Let's break this down to find the missing angles.
Step-by-step solution:
-
Identify angle :
- The angle and the given angle of are supplementary, meaning they form a straight line. Therefore, the sum of these two angles is . Solving for :
-
Identify angle :
- The angle is complementary to the given right angle (since it forms part of the right-angled corner in the diagram). The sum of complementary angles is . Solving for :
Final answers:
