Math Problem Statement

Solution

To find the values of nn and mm in the given square, we need to analyze the geometric relationships within the figure. The image shows a square with its diagonals intersecting, creating four right triangles inside the square.

Let's break down the problem:

  1. Square Properties:

    • All sides are equal.
    • Each internal angle is 9090^\circ.
    • The diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other at right angles (9090^\circ).
  2. Diagonals:

    • The diagonals of a square split the square into two equal right triangles.
  3. Triangles within the Square:

    • Each of the right triangles formed by the diagonals has angles 45,45,45^\circ, 45^\circ, and 9090^\circ.
  4. Angle Relationships:

    • The diagonals intersect at 9090^\circ creating angles of 4545^\circ at each vertex where they intersect the sides of the square.

Given the symmetry and the right triangle properties:

  • Angles nn and mm:
    • Angle nn is formed by the intersection of one of the diagonals with a side of the square.
    • Angle mm is another angle formed similarly by the intersection of the diagonals with a side of the square.

Calculations

From the properties above, let's analyze the angles within the square:

  • Angle nn:

    • This angle is formed between the diagonal and one side of the square.
    • Since the diagonals bisect each vertex angle of the square (9090^\circ) into two 4545^\circ angles, angle nn will be 4545^\circ.
  • Angle mm:

    • This angle is also formed between the diagonal and one side of the square.
    • Similarly, angle mm will be 4545^\circ for the same reasons outlined above.

Thus, both angles nn and mm are 4545^\circ each.

Conclusion

  • n=45n = 45^\circ
  • m=45m = 45^\circ
