Math Problem Statement

Solve the angle problems provided in a worksheet image, identifying angle relationships and solving for missing variables.

Solution

Let's go through the questions shown in the image.

Part A

For each of the given diagrams, we are asked to:

  1. State the type of angles (e.g., complementary, supplementary, vertical, corresponding).
  2. State their relationship (e.g., are the angles equal, supplementary, etc.).
  3. Find the value of xx.

Let’s address each problem step-by-step:


1.

  • Type of angles: The angles are vertically opposite angles.
  • Relationship: Vertically opposite angles are equal.
  • Equation: 2x=802x = 80^\circ x=802=40x = \frac{80^\circ}{2} = 40^\circ

2.

  • Type of angles: The angles are supplementary (they form a straight line).
  • Relationship: The sum of supplementary angles is 180180^\circ.
  • Equation: 120+3x=180120^\circ + 3x = 180^\circ 3x=180120=603x = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ x=603=20x = \frac{60^\circ}{3} = 20^\circ

3.

  • Type of angles: The angles are supplementary (linear pair).
  • Relationship: The sum is 180180^\circ.
  • Equation: 2x+110=1802x + 110^\circ = 180^\circ 2x=180110=702x = 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ x=702=35x = \frac{70^\circ}{2} = 35^\circ

4.

  • Type of angles: The angles are vertically opposite angles.
  • Relationship: Vertically opposite angles are equal.
  • Equation: x+15=80x + 15^\circ = 80^\circ x=8015=65x = 80^\circ - 15^\circ = 65^\circ

5.

  • Type of angles: The angles are vertically opposite angles.
  • Relationship: Vertically opposite angles are equal.
  • Equation: 68=2x68^\circ = 2x x=682=34x = \frac{68^\circ}{2} = 34^\circ

6.

  • Type of angles: The angles are vertically opposite angles.
  • Relationship: Vertically opposite angles are equal.
  • Equation: 92=2x492^\circ = 2x - 4^\circ 2x=92+4=962x = 92^\circ + 4^\circ = 96^\circ x=962=48x = \frac{96^\circ}{2} = 48^\circ

Part B: Find the missing variables


7.

  • Type of angles: The angles are vertically opposite angles.
  • Relationship: Vertically opposite angles are equal.
  • Equation: 10y25=7510y - 25 = 75^\circ 10y=75+25=10010y = 75^\circ + 25^\circ = 100^\circ y=10010=10y = \frac{100^\circ}{10} = 10^\circ

8.

  • Type of angles: The angles are corresponding angles (parallel lines).

  • Relationship: Corresponding angles are equal.

  • Equation: 3x+15=603x + 15^\circ = 60^\circ 3x=6015=453x = 60^\circ - 15^\circ = 45^\circ x=453=15x = \frac{45^\circ}{3} = 15^\circ

    And for yy, the equation is 5y10=605y - 10^\circ = 60^\circ. 5y=60+10=705y = 60^\circ + 10^\circ = 70^\circ y=705=14y = \frac{70^\circ}{5} = 14^\circ


9.

  • Type of angles: The angles are vertically opposite angles.
  • Relationship: Vertically opposite angles are equal.
  • Equation: 2x+12=1022x + 12^\circ = 102^\circ 2x=10212=902x = 102^\circ - 12^\circ = 90^\circ x=902=45x = \frac{90^\circ}{2} = 45^\circ

Would you like more details or have any questions? Here are some related questions for practice:

  1. What are complementary angles, and how do they differ from supplementary angles?
  2. How can you identify vertically opposite angles in a diagram?
  3. In a diagram with parallel lines, how do you determine corresponding angles?
  4. What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle, and how does that help solve angle problems?
  5. How can the exterior angle theorem be applied to find unknown angles in triangles?

Tip: Always check if the angles are forming straight lines (supplementary) or intersecting lines (vertical). It helps to quickly identify relationships.
