Math Problem Statement

If m∠5 = 82°, find each measure.

Solution

To solve this problem, let’s analyze the angles in the diagram based on the given information. Here, we are told that the measure of angle 5 (m5m \angle 5) is 82°. The figure shows a pair of parallel lines intersected by transversals, creating multiple angles with specific relationships such as vertical angles, corresponding angles, and alternate interior angles.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Identify Vertical Angles:

    • Vertical angles are equal. Since m5=82m \angle 5 = 82^\circ, the opposite angle m7m \angle 7 will also be 82°.
    • Similarly, m6=m8m \angle 6 = m \angle 8.
  2. Corresponding Angles:

    • Corresponding angles are equal when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal.
    • Since m5=82m \angle 5 = 82^\circ, the corresponding angle on the top parallel line (angle 1) will also be 82°.
    • This applies to all corresponding angle pairs.
  3. Alternate Interior Angles:

    • Alternate interior angles are also equal when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal.
    • Since m5=82m \angle 5 = 82^\circ, the alternate interior angle m3m \angle 3 will be 82°.
  4. Supplementary Angles:

    • Adjacent angles on a straight line are supplementary (they add up to 180°).
    • So, if m5=82m \angle 5 = 82^\circ, then m4=18082=98m \angle 4 = 180^\circ - 82^\circ = 98^\circ.
    • We can apply this to find other supplementary pairs.

Based on these relationships, here are the angle measures:

Answers

  • m1=82m \angle 1 = 82^\circ
  • m2=98m \angle 2 = 98^\circ
  • m3=82m \angle 3 = 82^\circ
  • m4=98m \angle 4 = 98^\circ
  • m6=98m \angle 6 = 98^\circ
  • m7=82m \angle 7 = 82^\circ
  • m8=98m \angle 8 = 98^\circ
  • m9=82m \angle 9 = 82^\circ
  • m10=98m \angle 10 = 98^\circ
  • m11=82m \angle 11 = 82^\circ
  • m12=98m \angle 12 = 98^\circ
