Answer:

m∠d = 90°

m∠e = 129°

m∠f = 51°

Explanation:

Before attempting to calculate the values of the missing angles, first we must know a few properties about certain angles. Vertical angles are angles formed by two lines that cross and are opposite to each other, like the angle of 129° and ∠e for example, and they are equivalent to each other. Therefore, we know that the measure of ∠e, or m∠e, equals 129°.

Next, supplementary angles are two angles whose sums add up to exactly 180°, or a straight angle, and are typically adjacent angles formed on a straight line, like ∠e and ∠f. Since we know m∠e is 129°, and m∠e + m∠f = 180°, that means m∠f + 129 = 180 ⇒ m∠f = 51°.

Lastly, we also see that ∠d forms supplementary angles with a right angle - whose angle measure is 90° - so we can conclude that m∠d + 90 = 180 ⇒ m∠d = 90°.

Therefore, your answers will be: m∠d = 90°, m∠e = 129°, and m∠f = 51°.

Have a great day! Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions :)
