Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of the missing angles d, e, and f in the provided diagram, where angle d forms a right angle with a horizontal and vertical line, and angle e and f are either vertically opposite or supplementary to a 73° angle.

Solution

Let's analyze the diagram to find the missing angles dd, ee, and ff.

  1. Angle dd is formed by a horizontal and vertical line and is marked as a right angle (90°). So: d=90d = 90^\circ

  2. Angle ee is a vertically opposite angle to the 73° angle. Vertically opposite angles are always equal, so: e=73e = 73^\circ

  3. Angle ff is on a straight line with the 73° angle, so ff and 73° are supplementary. The sum of supplementary angles is 180°, thus: f=18073=107f = 180^\circ - 73^\circ = 107^\circ

Final answers:

  • d=90d = 90^\circ
  • e=73e = 73^\circ
  • f=107f = 107^\circ

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What are vertically opposite angles, and how can we use them in other scenarios?
  2. Can we find the remaining angles in a triangle if we know two angles?
  3. What is the difference between complementary and supplementary angles?
  4. How would the angle values change if the original given angle was different?
  5. What are alternate interior angles, and how are they related to parallel lines?

Tip: When working with angles on straight lines, always check if the angles are supplementary (sum to 180°) or complementary (sum to 90°).
