Math Problem Statement

Solve for the unknown angles (d° and e°) in the given diagram involving an equilateral triangle.

Solution

This problem involves angles in an equilateral triangle. Let’s solve for dd^\circ and ee^\circ step-by-step:

Step 1: Properties of an Equilateral Triangle

An equilateral triangle has all angles equal to 6060^\circ, and the sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ.

Step 2: Label Given Angles

From the image:

  • The interior angle at the vertex is split into 8080^\circ and ee^\circ.
  • At the base of the triangle, one angle is split into 7272^\circ and dd^\circ, and the other is 2222^\circ.

Step 3: Solve for ee^\circ

The angle at the top vertex of the equilateral triangle is 6060^\circ. Therefore: 80+e=6080^\circ + e^\circ = 60^\circ e=6080=20e^\circ = 60^\circ - 80^\circ = -20^\circ

It appears there's a misinterpretation here! Let me reassess the angle relationship. Could you clarify or confirm any incorrect aspects of the can catch.details
