Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of the missing angles: d, e, and f given angles of 27° and 131°.

Solution

The image shows a question where you are tasked to find the missing angles dd, ee, and ff based on the given angle values of 2727^\circ and 131131^\circ.

Let's solve for the missing angles step by step:

  1. Angle dd: Since dd and 131131^\circ form a linear pair (they are on a straight line), they must add up to 180180^\circ. d+131=180d + 131^\circ = 180^\circ Solving for dd: d=180131=49d = 180^\circ - 131^\circ = 49^\circ

  2. Angle ee: The angle ee is vertically opposite to the angle 131131^\circ, and vertically opposite angles are equal. Thus, e=131e = 131^\circ

  3. Angle ff: Angle ff is vertically opposite to the 2727^\circ angle. Again, vertically opposite angles are equal. So, f=27f = 27^\circ

Final answers:

  • d=49d = 49^\circ
  • e=131e = 131^\circ
  • f=27f = 27^\circ

Would you like further details on any part of the explanation?

Here are five related questions you might explore:

  1. What are vertically opposite angles, and why are they always equal?
  2. How do we use the concept of linear pairs to solve for unknown angles?
  3. What are supplementary angles, and how do they differ from complementary angles?
  4. How would the calculation change if the lines were not straight but formed a triangle?
  5. Can angles in parallel lines and transversal situations also be solved using these principles?

Tip: Always remember, angles on a straight line add up to 180180^\circ, and vertically opposite angles are always equal.
