Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of the missing angles based on the provided diagram with angles h = 112° and m = 92°.

Solution

To solve for the missing angles gg, hh, kk, and mm, we can use properties of intersecting lines and supplementary angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Angle hh is already provided as 112112^\circ. Since gg and hh are vertically opposite angles (because two lines intersect at a point), we know: g=h=112g = h = 112^\circ

  2. Angle mm is given as 9292^\circ. Angles mm and kk are on a straight line, meaning they are supplementary angles. Supplementary angles add up to 180180^\circ. Therefore: k+m=180k + m = 180^\circ Substituting m=92m = 92^\circ: k+92=180k + 92^\circ = 180^\circ Solving for kk: k=18092=88k = 180^\circ - 92^\circ = 88^\circ

Summary of the missing angles:

  • g=112g = 112^\circ
  • h=112h = 112^\circ (given)
  • k=88k = 88^\circ
  • m=92m = 92^\circ (given)

Tip: Vertically opposite angles are always equal when two lines intersect!
