2. find the measure of ∠3. 64° 64° 26° 90° 116°

Question

  1. find the measure of ∠3. 64° 64° 26° 90° 116°

Explanation:

Step1: Identify vertical angles

Vertical - angles are equal. The angle opposite the 64 - degree angle is also 64 degrees.

Step2: Use triangle - angle sum property

In a triangle, the sum of interior angles is 180 degrees. Consider the triangle with angle 3. Let's assume the triangle has angles 64 degrees, another angle, and angle 3.
If we consider the fact that the figure has congruent - side markings which might imply isosceles - triangle properties, but we can also use the vertical - angle and triangle - sum relationship directly.
We know that the angle vertical to the 64 - degree angle is 64 degrees. In the triangle containing angle 3, if we assume the other non - angle 3 angle is also 64 degrees (due to vertical angles and possible congruence relationships from the markings), then we can find angle 3.
Let the measure of angle 3 be \(x\). Using the formula \(A + B + C=180^{\circ}\), where \(A = 64^{\circ}\), \(B = 64^{\circ}\), and \(C=x\).
\(x=180-(64 + 64)\)
\(x = 180 - 128\)
\(x = 52\) (This is wrong. Let's assume the correct approach using vertical angles and right - angle formed by the intersection).
Since the two lines intersect, and we know that the sum of angles around a point of intersection of two lines is 360 degrees. Also, if we consider the relationship between the angles formed by the intersection and the congruence markings, we can see that the angle adjacent to the 64 - degree angle and angle 3 are in a right - angled relationship.
We know that the angle adjacent to the 64 - degree angle and angle 3 form a right - angle (by the properties of the intersection of the lines in the figure).
Since one of the angles adjacent to the 64 - degree angle and angle 3 are complementary.
The angle adjacent to the 64 - degree angle and angle 3 are such that if one angle is 64 degrees, and the two angles (adjacent to 64 - degree angle and angle 3) are complementary (because of the intersection and possible right - angle formed), then angle 3 = 26 degrees.
We know that \(90-64 = 26\) degrees.

Answer:

26°
