Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of the missing angles d, e, and f using the given angles 70° and 87°.

Solution

In this diagram, we have intersecting lines that form several angles. We are given two angles: 7070^\circ and 8787^\circ. These angles are used to find the missing angles dd, ee, and ff.

Step-by-step Explanation:

  1. Angle dd: Angle dd is a vertical angle to the 8787^\circ angle. Vertical angles are always equal, so: d=87d = 87^\circ

  2. Angle ee: Angle ee is a vertical angle to the 7070^\circ angle. Vertical angles are also equal, so: e=70e = 70^\circ

  3. Angle ff: Angle ff forms a linear pair with the 7070^\circ angle. Since angles on a straight line add up to 180180^\circ, we can find ff as: f=18070=110f = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ

Final Answer:

  • d=87d = 87^\circ
  • e=70e = 70^\circ
  • f=110f = 110^\circ
