Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem presented in the image shows that ray bisects , and the given angles are and . Let's solve each part step-by-step.
Part a: Solve for and find .
Since bisects , the two angle measures should be equal. Therefore, we can set the two expressions equal to each other:
Solving for :
-
Subtract from both sides:
-
Add 10 to both sides:
Thus, .
Finding :
Now substitute into one of the angle expressions (for example, ) to find :
So, .
Part b: Find .
Since bisects the angle, must be equal to . Therefore:
Part c: Find .
Since is the sum of the two bisected angles, we have:
