Math Problem Statement
Solution
We are given a geometric diagram with three straight lines , , and , along with specific angles. The goal is to determine the value of the angle marked .
Steps to solve for :
-
Straight Line Rule: The angle on a straight line sums to .
- Angle is given.
- Therefore, .
-
Triangle Angle Sum: The sum of angles in a triangle is always . In triangle : Substituting the known values: Simplifying:
Therefore, the value of the angle marked is .
