- two adjacent angles form a straight - line. ∠a = 72°, find ∠b.
- two lines intersect. if ∠a = 64°, find its vertical angle ∠c and the measure of ∠b.
- ∠1 + ∠3 are vertical angles. if ∠1=(2x + 10)° and ∠3=(4x - 20)°, find x and both angle measures.
- if ∠x = 38°, find its complement.
- 2 complementary angles are (x + 12)° and (2x - 3)°. find the measure of each angle.
Step1: Recall linear - pair property
The sum of angles in a linear pair is 180°. Given ∠1 = 115°, let ∠2 be the unknown angle. Then ∠1+∠2 = 180°.
So, ∠2=180° - ∠1.
Step2: Calculate ∠2
∠2 = 180°-115° = 65°
Step3: Recall adjacent - angles on a straight - line property
Adjacent angles that form a straight line have a sum of 180°. Given ∠A = 72°, let ∠B be the unknown angle. Then ∠A+∠B = 180°.
So, ∠B = 180° - ∠A.
Step4: Calculate ∠B
∠B=180° - 72° = 108°
Step5: Recall vertical - angle property
Vertical angles are equal. If ∠A = 64°, then ∠C (the vertical angle of ∠A) is also 64°.
Also, ∠A and ∠B are adjacent angles on a straight - line (formed by the intersection of two lines), so ∠A+∠B = 180°.
Then ∠B = 180° - ∠A.
Step6: Calculate ∠B
∠B = 180°-64° = 116°
Step7: Recall vertical - angle property
Since ∠1 and ∠3 are vertical angles, ∠1 = ∠3.
So, 2x + 10=4x - 20.
Step8: Solve for x
First, move the x terms to one side: 4x-2x=10 + 20.
2x=30, then x = 15.
Step9: Calculate ∠1 and ∠3
∠1=2x + 10=2×15+10=40°.
∠3=4x - 20=4×15-20=40°.
Step10: Recall complementary - angle property
The sum of complementary angles is 90°. Given ∠x = 38°, let the complement be ∠y. Then ∠x+∠y = 90°.
So, ∠y = 90° - ∠x.
Step11: Calculate the complement of ∠x
∠y=90° - 38° = 52°
Step12: Recall complementary - angle property
Since (x + 12)° and (2x - 3)° are complementary angles, (x + 12)+(2x - 3)=90.
Step13: Simplify the equation
Combine like terms: 3x+9 = 90.
Step14: Solve for x
3x=90 - 9=81, then x = 27.
Step15: Calculate the two angles
The first angle is x + 12=27+122222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222…
