Math Problem Statement

Calculate the value of the unknown angles in the triangles pictured.

Solution

The problem in the image asks to calculate the value of the unknown angles in the triangles shown.

Triangle a):

We have a right-angled triangle with:

  • Angle 4545^\circ
  • The right angle 9090^\circ
  • The unknown angle θ\theta

Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ: θ=1809045=45\theta = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 45^\circ = 45^\circ Thus, the unknown angle is 4545^\circ, making it an isosceles right triangle.

Triangle b):

For the second triangle, we are given:

  • One angle 130130^\circ
  • One angle 5252^\circ
  • The unknown angle ϕ\phi

Again, the sum of the angles in any triangle is 180180^\circ, so we calculate: ϕ=18013052=180182=2\phi = 180^\circ - 130^\circ - 52^\circ = 180^\circ - 182^\circ = -2^\circ But there seems to be an issue with the sum exceeding 180180^\circ. I will double-check the diagram.

Upon further inspection, I see that one of the marked angles might be incorrectly written or misinterpreted. Could you confirm the angles or allow me to interpret based on the provided numbers?

Would you like to explore the clarification further or have questions on any part of the solution?


Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What are the properties of an isosceles triangle?
  2. How do you find the missing angle in any triangle?
  3. Why do the angles of a triangle always sum up to 180180^\circ?
  4. What is the difference between acute, obtuse, and right angles?
  5. How do we classify triangles based on their angles?

Tip: In a right triangle, if one angle is 4545^\circ, the other non-right angle must also be 4545^\circ, making the triangle isosceles.
