If m∠a=47°, what is m∠b, m∠c, and m∠d? Explain how you know the measures are correct.

avanturin [10]

m ∠b = 133°, m ∠c = 47°, and m ∠d = 133°.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Follow the attached picture. I sincerely hope that's precisely a correct illustration.

We will use a graph of two intersecting straight lines.

Note that m ∠a and m ∠c are vertical angles. Since vertical angles share the same measures, in other words always congruent, we see $\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{c} = m \ \angle{a} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{c} = 47^0 \ }}$

We continue to determine m ∠b and m ∠d.

Note that m ∠b and m ∠d represent supplementary angles. Recall that supplementary angles add up to 180°.

Let us see the following steps.

$\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{a} + m \ \angle{b} = 180^0. \ }$

$\boxed{ \ m \ 47^0 + m \ \angle{b} = 180^0. \ }$

Both sides subtracted by 47°.

$\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{b} = 180^0 - 47^0. \ }$

Thus $\boxed{\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{b} = 133^0. \ }}$

Finally, note that m ∠b and m ∠d are vertical angles. Accordingly, $\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{d} = m \ \angle{b} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{d} = 133^0 \ }}$

<u>Conclusion:</u>

m ∠a = 47°
m ∠b = 133°
m ∠c = 47°
m ∠d = 133°

<u>Notes:</u>

Supplementary angles are two angles when they add up to 180°. $\boxed{ \ example: \angle{a} + \angle{b} = 180^0 \ }$
Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross. Note that vertical angles are always congruent, or of equal measure. $\boxed{ \ example: \angle{a} = \angle{c} \ }$
