Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve for the angles , , and , we can use the information provided in the diagram and the fact that bisects .
Given:
- bisects , meaning that .
Since bisects , we can set the two expressions for and equal to each other:
Step 1: Solve for
Subtract from both sides: Add 18 to both sides: Divide both sides by 4:
Step 2: Find and
Substitute into the expressions for and :
Step 3: Find
Since bisects , the total angle is the sum of and :
