Math Problem Statement

what do you mean. angle 2 equals 90 not 60

Solution

Thank you for the correction. Let's revisit the problem with the correct information:

Given:

  • m1=80m\angle 1 = 80^\circ
  • m2=90m\angle 2 = 90^\circ
  • m3m\angle 3, m4m\angle 4, m5m\angle 5, and m6m\angle 6 are the angles we need to determine.

Step 1: Identify Relationships Between the Angles

From the diagram and given angles:

  • m2=90m\angle 2 = 90^\circ implies that AB\overline{AB} is perpendicular to AC\overline{AC}, forming a right angle at ABC\angle ABC.
  • AB\overline{AB} and AC\overline{AC} form triangle ABCABC with BAC\angle BAC being 1\angle 1 and the total sum of angles in any triangle being 180180^\circ.

Step 2: Calculate the Other Angles

Using the properties of triangles and supplementary angles:

  1. Find m3m\angle 3:

    • 3\angle 3 is supplementary to 2\angle 2 because they form a straight line. Therefore: m3=180m2=18090=90m\angle 3 = 180^\circ - m\angle 2 = 180^\circ - 90^\circ = 90^\circ
  2. Find m4m\angle 4:

    • 4\angle 4 and 1\angle 1 are angles on the same line, thus they sum to 180°: m4=180m1=18080=100m\angle 4 = 180^\circ - m\angle 1 = 180^\circ - 80^\circ = 100^\circ
  3. Find m5m\angle 5:

    • Since 5\angle 5 is part of the triangle ABCABC, and we already know 2\angle 2 and 1\angle 1, the sum of the angles in the triangle ABCABC is 180°: m5=180(m1+m2)=180(80+90)=180170=10m\angle 5 = 180^\circ - (m\angle 1 + m\angle 2) = 180^\circ - (80^\circ + 90^\circ) = 180^\circ - 170^\circ = 10^\circ
  4. Find m6m\angle 6:

    • If m6m\angle 6 is an external angle (outside triangle), you would use the external angle theorem: m6=m1+m3=80+90=170m\angle 6 = m\angle 1 + m\angle 3 = 80^\circ + 90^\circ = 170^\circ

Final Answer:

  • m1=80m\angle 1 = 80^\circ
  • m2=90m\angle 2 = 90^\circ
  • m3=90m\angle 3 = 90^\circ
  • m4=100m\angle 4 = 100^\circ
  • m5=10m\angle 5 = 10^\circ
  • m6=170m\angle 6 = 170^\circ

Would you like to go through any particular angle calculation in more detail, or do you have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:

  1. How would the solution change if m1m\angle 1 were 7070^\circ instead of 8080^\circ?
  2. What are the properties of an isosceles triangle, and how can they help in finding unknown angles?
  3. How do supplementary and complementary angles differ in their properties?
  4. What is the exterior angle theorem, and how can it be applied to more complex figures?
  5. Can you determine the type of triangle formed by 1=50\angle 1 = 50^\circ, 2=60\angle 2 = 60^\circ, and 3=70\angle 3 = 70^\circ?

Tip: Remember that the sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180180^\circ. This fact is often the key to solving many geometric problems involving triangles.
