Solution

Let's solve the questions on the worksheet step-by-step:

Information from the Diagram

  • EOD=32\angle EOD = 32^\circ (Given)
  • ADAD, BEBE, and CFCF are lines that intersect at point OO.
  • AOF\angle AOF is 9090^\circ since ADAD is perpendicular to FCFC.

Solving the Problems

a. What is the measure of FOA\angle FOA? How do you know?

Since ADAD is perpendicular to FCFC, the angle between them, FOA\angle FOA, is 9090^\circ.

Answer: FOA=90\angle FOA = 90^\circ.


b. Name two adjacent angles that together form FOD\angle FOD. What is the sum of their measures?

Adjacent angles that form FOD\angle FOD are FOA\angle FOA and AOD\angle AOD.

  • FOA=90\angle FOA = 90^\circ (as determined above),
  • AOD=EOD=32\angle AOD = \angle EOD = 32^\circ (vertically opposite angles).

The sum of their measures is: FOA+AOD=90+32=122.\angle FOA + \angle AOD = 90^\circ + 32^\circ = 122^\circ.

Answer: FOA\angle FOA and AOD\angle AOD; the sum is 122122^\circ.


c. What is the measure of FOE\angle FOE? Explain.

FOE\angle FOE and EOD\angle EOD are adjacent angles that together form a straight angle: FOE+EOD=180.\angle FOE + \angle EOD = 180^\circ.

Given EOD=32\angle EOD = 32^\circ: FOE=18032=148.\angle FOE = 180^\circ - 32^\circ = 148^\circ.

Answer: FOE=148\angle FOE = 148^\circ.


d. Together, FOE\angle FOE, FOA\angle FOA, and AOB\angle AOB form a line or a straight angle that measures 180180^\circ. Explain how you can find the measure of AOB\angle AOB.

The sum of FOE\angle FOE, FOA\angle FOA, and AOB\angle AOB is: FOE+FOA+AOB=180.\angle FOE + \angle FOA + \angle AOB = 180^\circ.

Substituting known values:

  • FOE=148\angle FOE = 148^\circ,
  • FOA=90\angle FOA = 90^\circ.

Thus: 148+90+AOB=180.148^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle AOB = 180^\circ.

Solving for AOB\angle AOB: AOB=180(148+90)=180238=58.\angle AOB = 180^\circ - (148^\circ + 90^\circ) = 180^\circ - 238^\circ = -58^\circ.
