13 use the diagram to answer each question. a) the given angle measures 140°. classify that given angle by its measure. b) find the value of each angle. be sure to include the degree symbol m∠1 = m∠2 = m∠3 =
Part a)
Step1: Recall angle classification
Angles are classified as acute (less than \(90^\circ\)), right (\(90^\circ\)), obtuse (greater than \(90^\circ\) and less than \(180^\circ\)), straight (\(180^\circ\)), or reflex (greater than \(180^\circ\)). The given angle is \(140^\circ\). Since \(90^\circ< 140^\circ< 180^\circ\), it is an obtuse angle.
Step1: Find \(m\angle3\)
\(\angle3\) and the \(140^\circ\) angle are supplementary (they form a linear pair, so their sum is \(180^\circ\)). Let \(m\angle3 = x\). Then \(x + 140^\circ=180^\circ\). Solving for \(x\), we get \(x = 180^\circ - 140^\circ=40^\circ\). So \(m\angle3 = 40^\circ\).
Step2: Find \(m\angle1\)
\(\angle1\) and \(\angle3\) are supplementary (linear pair). Let \(m\angle1 = y\). Then \(y + 40^\circ=180^\circ\), so \(y = 180^\circ - 40^\circ = 140^\circ\). Alternatively, \(\angle1\) and the \(140^\circ\) angle are vertical angles, so they are equal. Thus, \(m\angle1 = 140^\circ\).
Step3: Find \(m\angle2\)
\(\angle2\) and \(\angle3\) are vertical angles (or \(\angle2\) and the \(140^\circ\) angle are supplementary? Wait, no. \(\angle2\) and \(\angle1\) are supplementary? Wait, no. \(\angle2\) and the \(140^\circ\) angle: actually, \(\angle2\) and \(\angle3\) are vertical angles? Wait, no, let's re - examine. The two lines intersect, so vertical angles are equal. \(\angle2\) and the \(140^\circ\) angle: no, \(\angle2\) and \(\angle1\) are adjacent? Wait, no. Let's use vertical angles. \(\angle2\) and the angle of measure \(140^\circ\) are vertical angles? Wait, no, the \(140^\circ\) angle and \(\angle1\) are vertical angles? Wait, no, when two lines intersect, vertical angles are equal. So the angle of \(140^\circ\) and \(\angle1\) are vertical angles? Wait, no, looking at the diagram, the \(140^\circ\) angle and \(\angle2\) are vertical angles? Wait, maybe I made a mistake earlier. Let's start over.
When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to \(180^\circ\)), and vertical angles are equal.
Let's label the intersection: the two lines intersect, creating four angles. The given angle is \(140^\circ\). Let's say the angle opposite to \(\angle1\) is \(140^\circ\)? No, wait, the angle marked \(140^\circ\) and \(\angle3\) are adjacent (linear pair), so \(m\angle3=180 - 140 = 40^\circ\). Then \(\angle1\) and \(\angle3\) are adjacent (linear pair), so \(m\angle1 = 180 - 40=140^\circ\). \(\angle2\) and the \(140^\circ\) angle are vertical angles, so \(m\angle2 = 140^\circ\)? Wait, no, \(\angle2\) and \(\angle3\) are vertical angles? Wait, no, vertical angles are opposite each other. So if we have two intersecting lines, let's call the intersection point \(O\). Let the four angles be \(\angle AOB = 140^\circ\), \(\angle BOC=\angle3\), \(\angle COD=\angle1\), \(\angle DOA=\angle2\). Then \(\angle AOB\) and \(\angle COD\) are vertical angles (so \(\angle1 = 140^\circ\)), \(\angle BOC\) and \(\angle DOA\) are vertical angles (so \(\angle2=\angle3\)). And \(\angle AOB+\angle BOC = 180^\circ\), so \(\angle3 = 180 - 140 = 40^\circ\), so \(\angle2 = 40^\circ\)? Wait, I think I messed up earlier. Let's correct:
- \(\angle1\) and the \(140^\circ\) angle: are they vertical angles? If the \(140^\circ\) angle and \(\angle1\) are opposite each other, then \(m\angle1 = 140^\circ\) (vertical angles are equal).
- \(\angle3\) and the \(140^\circ\) angle: they are adjacent (linear pair), so \(m\angle3=180^\circ - 140^\circ = 40^\circ\).
- \(\angle2\) and \(\angle3\): are they vertical angles? No, \(\angle2\) and the \(140^\circ\) angle? Wait, no, \(\angle2\) and \(\angle1\) are adjacent? No, let's use the fact that vertical angles are equal. The angle opposite to \(\angle3\) is \(\angle2\)? Wait, no, when two lines intersect, the vertical angles are: if one angle is \(140^\circ\), its vertical angle is also \(140^\circ\), and the other two vertical angles are \(40^\circ\) each.
So:
- \(m\angle1\): since \(\an…
