Math Problem Statement

Given that WZ bisects ∠XWY, find the two angle measures not given in the diagram for problems 29, 30, and 31.

Solution

Let's break down each of the problems based on the image.

Problem 29:

  • You are given that WZ\overline{WZ} bisects XWY\angle XWY and that XWZ=52\angle XWZ = 52^\circ.
  • Since WZ\overline{WZ} is an angle bisector, this means that ZWY=XWZ\angle ZWY = \angle XWZ.
  • Therefore, ZWY=52\angle ZWY = 52^\circ.
  • The total XWY=XWZ+ZWY=52+52=104\angle XWY = \angle XWZ + \angle ZWY = 52^\circ + 52^\circ = 104^\circ.

Problem 30:

  • Here, you are given that WZ\overline{WZ} bisects XWY\angle XWY and that ZWY=68\angle ZWY = 68^\circ.
  • Since WZ\overline{WZ} bisects XWY\angle XWY, XWZ=ZWY=68\angle XWZ = \angle ZWY = 68^\circ.
  • The total XWY=XWZ+ZWY=68+68=136\angle XWY = \angle XWZ + \angle ZWY = 68^\circ + 68^\circ = 136^\circ.

Problem 31:

  • In this case, you are given XWY=71\angle XWY = 71^\circ, and WZ\overline{WZ} bisects XWY\angle XWY.
  • Since WZ\overline{WZ} bisects XWY\angle XWY, XWZ=ZWY\angle XWZ = \angle ZWY.
  • Therefore, XWZ=ZWY=712=35.5\angle XWZ = \angle ZWY = \frac{71^\circ}{2} = 35.5^\circ.

Summary of Missing Angles:

  1. Problem 29:

    • ZWY=52\angle ZWY = 52^\circ
    • XWY=104\angle XWY = 104^\circ
  2. Problem 30:

    • XWZ=68\angle XWZ = 68^\circ
    • XWY=136\angle XWY = 136^\circ
  3. Problem 31:

    • XWZ=35.5\angle XWZ = 35.5^\circ
    • ZWY=35.5\angle ZWY = 35.5^\circ

Related Questions:

  1. How do you calculate the total angle XWY\angle XWY if given one of the bisected angles?
  2. What is the relationship between an angle bisector and the two angles it creates?
  3. Can you apply the angle bisector concept in a triangle to find unknown angles?
  4. What is the sum of interior angles in a triangle, and how does the angle bisector affect it?
  5. How would you find the missing angle in a situation where the total angle and one bisected part are known?

Tip:

An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal smaller angles, and this property can be applied in different geometric situations, like in triangles or polygons.
