Question

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. In the figure, angle D measures 31° and angle A measures 27°. The measurement of angle B is °. The measurement of angle F is °.

Answer 1

Answer:

∠B = 63°, ∠F = 59°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  angle D measures 31° and angle A measures 27°.

From the diagram attached, ∠ E = 90°, ∠G = 90°.

Also ∠C + ∠G = 180° (sum of angles on a straight line)

∠C + 90 = 180

∠C = 180 - 90 = 90°

To find the measure of ∠B and ∠F, we use the triangles ABC and DEF, remember that the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°. In triangle ABC:

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (angles in a triangle).

27 + ∠B + 90 = 180

∠B + 117 = 180

∠B = 180 - 117

∠B = 63°

Also in triangle DEF:

∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 180° (angles in a triangle).

31 + 90 + ∠F = 180

∠F + 121 = 180

∠F = 180 - 121

∠F = 59°
