Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you provided contains two problems involving angles in a geometric diagram. Let's analyze and solve each of them:
Problem 15: What is the value of angle ?
From the diagram, we see a right triangle with angle at , and angle . There is also a 330° angle at , though it doesn't seem to be directly relevant for solving for . The triangle looks to be isosceles, as the two legs (other than the hypotenuse) seem to have equal length, implying that the two base angles are equal.
- In an isosceles right triangle, the angles would be , which corresponds to option .
Thus, the value of .
Problem 16: What is the value of angle ?
In the same triangle, the angle appears to be the angle at vertex of the triangle.
Since we determined that is isosceles with angle , the remaining angle, , would also be .
Thus, the value of , which corresponds to option .
Answers:
- Problem 15: (Option B)
- Problem 16: (Option B)
Would you like further clarification on any part of this solution, or details on why it's an isosceles right triangle?
Here are 5 questions that expand on this topic:
- How do you recognize an isosceles right triangle from its diagram?
- Why do the angles in a right triangle sum to 180°?
- What are the general properties of an isosceles triangle?
- How would you calculate angles in non-right triangles?
- What role does the 330° angle play in the problem, if any?
Tip: Always check the triangle's properties first—whether it's isosceles, equilateral, or scalene—as this will often simplify angle calculations.
