Math Problem Statement

angle A B C and angle D E F are supplementary. If mangle A B C = 92degree, what is mangle D E F?

Solution

If angles ABC\angle ABC and DEF\angle DEF are supplementary, this means their measures add up to 180180^\circ.

You are given that:

mABC=92m\angle ABC = 92^\circ

To find mDEFm\angle DEF, use the relationship between supplementary angles:

mABC+mDEF=180m\angle ABC + m\angle DEF = 180^\circ

Substitute the given value of mABCm\angle ABC:

92+mDEF=18092^\circ + m\angle DEF = 180^\circ

Now, solve for mDEFm\angle DEF:

mDEF=18092=88m\angle DEF = 180^\circ - 92^\circ = 88^\circ

Therefore, mDEF=88m\angle DEF = 88^\circ.


Do you need more details on supplementary angles or any other concepts? Here are some related questions you might find helpful:

  1. What are the properties of supplementary angles?
  2. How do complementary angles differ from supplementary angles?
  3. Can two obtuse angles be supplementary?
  4. What happens if both angles are right angles?
  5. How do adjacent and non-adjacent supplementary angles differ?

Tip: Always remember that supplementary angles sum up to 180180^\circ, while complementary angles sum to 9090^\circ.
