Math Problem Statement
Solution
From the image, we have a geometric figure showing angles related to a quadrilateral with the following given information:
You are asked to solve for the missing parts of the diagram.
Since and are adjacent angles that form a straight line (which is 180°), the equation we can form is:
Now, we will solve this equation:
-
Combine like terms:
-
Subtract 7 from both sides:
-
Divide by 4:
Now that we know , we can substitute this value back into the expressions for the angles to find their measures:
Thus, the angles are:

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- How are adjacent angles on a straight line related to each other?
- Can you solve a similar problem where the angles are supplementary but not adjacent?
- How would the problem change if and were complementary instead of supplementary?
- How do you verify the correctness of the solution for angle measures?
- What happens to the other angles in a quadrilateral when two angles are known?
Tip: Always double-check whether the angles form a straight line (supplementary) or some other relationship to avoid solving incorrectly!
