Angles 1, 2, and 3 measure 56°, 90°, and 56°, in that order.

In the given scenario, you have an angle x equal to 34°.

To determine the measures of adjacent angles, you use the information that adjacent angles share a common vertex and a common side but do not overlap.

Let ∠1 be an angle adjacent to x.

According to the figure, the sum of angles in a straight line is 180°. So, you have:

90°+34°+∠1=180°

90°+34°+∠1=180°

Solving for ∠1:

124°+∠1=180°

124°+∠1=180°

∠1=180°−124°

∠1=180°−124°

∠1=56°

∠1=56°

Since ∠1 is adjacent to x, ∠1 is also equal to ∠3 due to vertically opposite angles. Additionally, ∠2 is a right angle, given as 90°.

Therefore, the measures of angles 1, 2, and 3 are 56°, 90°, and 56°, respectively.

This result aligns with the properties of adjacent angles and the angles formed in a straight line, providing a clear understanding of the relationships between these angles in the given geometric configuration.

Question

If x=34° find the measures of angles 1,2,3 .

If x = 59 degrees, find the measures of angles 1, 2, and 3.-example-1
