Math Problem Statement

What is the value of h?

Solution

In the diagram, the angles provided are part of intersecting lines. When lines intersect, they form vertically opposite angles and adjacent angles that sum up to 90° (when there's a right angle) or 180° in certain cases.

Here’s how to solve for hh:

  1. The total of all angles around the point where the lines meet is 360°, as the angles form a full circle.
  2. The red right angle shown indicates a 90° angle.
  3. The angles adjacent to hh are 35° and 55°.

Since the right angle sums to 90° with its adjacent angles, we know: h+55+35=90h + 55^\circ + 35^\circ = 90^\circ h+90=90h + 90^\circ = 90^\circ

Thus, solving for hh: h=0h = 0^\circ

This solution seems consistent with the placement of the right angle symbol, suggesting no additional angle for hh. However, let me know if you have any other questions or need further clarification!


Do you have any additional questions or would like a more detailed explanation? Here are some related questions:

  1. What are vertically opposite angles?
  2. How do complementary angles relate to a 90° angle?
  3. How can you use angle sums in different polygons?
  4. What are alternate interior angles in parallel line diagrams?
  5. What is the difference between adjacent and supplementary angles?

Tip: Always remember that the sum of angles on a straight line is 180°, and the sum of angles around a point is 360°.
