Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of the missing angles.

Solution

To solve for the missing angles dd, ee, and ff in the given diagram, we can use the following properties of angles:

  1. Linear pair: Two angles that form a straight line sum up to 180180^\circ.
  2. Vertically opposite angles: When two lines intersect, opposite angles are equal.

Steps:

  1. Angle dd:

    • dd and the 3636^\circ angle are vertically opposite. So, d=36d = 36^\circ.
  2. Angle ee:

    • ee and the 102102^\circ angle form a linear pair, so: e+102=180e + 102^\circ = 180^\circ Solving for ee: e=180102=78e = 180^\circ - 102^\circ = 78^\circ
  3. Angle ff:

    • ff and ee are vertically opposite angles, so: f=e=78f = e = 78^\circ

Final answers:

  • d=36d = 36^\circ
  • e=78e = 78^\circ
  • f=78f = 78^\circ
