Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of the missing angles.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to find the missing angles in the diagram, using properties of angles.

Analysis:

  1. Angle 7878^\circ is given between lines ee and ff.
  2. dd is marked as a right angle, which is 9090^\circ.

Steps:

  • Using vertical angles: Vertical angles are congruent, so the angle directly opposite 7878^\circ (on the left side of the vertical line) will also be 7878^\circ.

  • Using supplementary angles: When two angles form a straight line, they are supplementary, meaning their sum is 180180^\circ.

    • The angle adjacent to 7878^\circ on line ff (let's call it ee) will be 18078=102180^\circ - 78^\circ = 102^\circ.
  • Using right angle: Since dd is a right angle, the angle adjacent to it on line ee (on the top) will also be 9090^\circ.

Conclusion:

  • The angles in the diagram are:
    • Vertical angle to 7878^\circ = 7878^\circ
    • Angle adjacent to 7878^\circ on line ff = 102102^\circ
    • Right angle d=90d = 90^\circ
    • Angle adjacent to dd on line ee = 9090^\circ

Here are five questions to expand on the information:

  1. How do vertical angles help in finding unknown angles in geometry?
  2. What is the relationship between supplementary angles and straight lines?
  3. How can we apply these angle properties to more complex diagrams?
  4. What is the difference between complementary and supplementary angles?
  5. Why are vertical angles always congruent?

Tip: Always look for vertical and supplementary angles when you see intersecting lines. This helps in solving for unknown angles quickly.
