Math Problem Statement
Find the measure of the missing angles. The diagram shows an angle of 123° with two unknown angles b and c.
Solution
The image shows a problem related to vertical, adjacent, and complementary angles. The diagram has an angle labeled as 123° and two unknown angles, and , that you need to find.
Step-by-step solution:
-
Identifying the angles:
- Angle and the 123° angle are vertical angles, meaning they are equal.
-
Finding angle :
- Angle and the 123° angle are adjacent angles forming a straight line, meaning they are supplementary. The sum of supplementary angles is 180°. Solving for :
