Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of the missing angles in the given diagram where angles are 70° and 87°.

Solution

Let's analyze the given diagram and determine the missing angles dd, ee, and ff.

  1. Angle dd:

    • The angle adjacent to 8787^\circ on a straight line must sum to 180180^\circ (since they are supplementary). d=18087=93d = 180^\circ - 87^\circ = 93^\circ
  2. Angle ee:

    • The angle adjacent to 7070^\circ along the same straight line also must sum to 180180^\circ. Thus, e=18070=110e = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ
  3. Angle ff:

    • Angles ee and ff are vertically opposite, so they must be equal. Therefore, f=110f = 110^\circ

Final Answers:

  • d=93d = 93^\circ
  • e=110e = 110^\circ
  • f=110f = 110^\circ
