Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the given image, we have a triangle with several labeled angles. Let's analyze the problem and solve for the angles denoted by the lowercase letters , , and .
Step-by-Step Analysis:
-
The triangle shows the following given angles:
- One angle marked as .
- One angle marked as .
- One angle marked as .
-
The angle at the bottom right is labeled , the angle near the middle (on the larger triangle) is labeled , and the angle at the bottom left is labeled .
Strategy to solve:
- We will use the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle always adds up to .
For the larger triangle:
-
The three angles in the larger triangle include the two given angles and , plus the angle that is the sum of (the upper left corner angle).
- The upper left corner is composed of and , so the total for that corner is .
Now, we can find :
For the smaller triangle on the right:
- The angles in the smaller triangle include the angle labeled , the given , and the angle .
- Since the sum of angles in a triangle is :
Conclusion:
- The angle is already given as .
