Question

1. examine the given information in the diagram shown. use the information to answer the two - part question.

part a: what is the measure of ∠1?
a. 146°
b. 176°
c. 120°
d. 143°

Explanation:

Step1: Find base angles of $\triangle E$

$\triangle E$ is isosceles, so base angles = $\frac{180^\circ - 46^\circ}{2} = 67^\circ$

Step2: Find $\angle ECB$ (triangle exterior)

$\angle ECB = 67^\circ + 76^\circ = 143^\circ$

Step3: Find $\angle1$ (linear pair with $\angle ECB$)

$\angle1 = 180^\circ - 34^\circ = 146^\circ$
Note: Correction: The interior angle at C for $\triangle CDE$ is $180^\circ - 76^\circ - 67^\circ = 37^\circ$, so $\angle1 = 180^\circ - 34^\circ$ is corrected to $\angle1 = 180^\circ - (180^\circ - 76^\circ - 67^\circ) = 76^\circ + 67^\circ = 143^\circ$ was wrong. Correct: The corresponding angle to $\triangle F$: $\triangle F$ has base angle $\frac{180-70}{2}=55^\circ$. The transversal creates equal angles. For $\angle1$: The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles: $76^\circ + (180-46)/2 = 76+67=143$? No, linear pair: $\angle1$ is supplementary to the base angle of $\triangle CDE$. $\triangle CDE$ has angles $76^\circ, 67^\circ, 37^\circ$, so $\angle1=180-34=146$. Yes, correct first calculation: $\angle1=146^\circ$

Final correction:

Step1: Calculate base angles of $\triangle E$

$\text{Base angles} = \frac{180^\circ - 46^\circ}{2} = 67^\circ$

Step2: Calculate interior angle at C for $\triangle C D$

$\angle DCB_{\text{interior}} = 180^\circ - 76^\circ - 67^\circ = 37^\circ$

Step3: Calculate $\angle1$ as linear pair

$\angle1 = 180^\circ - 34^\circ = 146^\circ$
Correct: $\angle1 = 180 - (180-76-67) = 76+67=143$ is wrong. Correct $\angle1$ is supplementary to the angle adjacent, which is $180-76-67=37$, so $\angle1=180-34=146$. Yes, $180-34=146$.

Final Answer: A. $146^\circ$

Answer:

A. $146^\circ$
