a)
Recall, the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. This means that
For triangle ABC,
angle A + angle B + angle C = 180
For triangle DEF,
angle D + angle E + angle F = 180
From the information given,
In triangle ABC,
angle A = 30
angle B = 52
Thus,
30 + 52 + angle C = 180
82 + angle C = 180
Subtracting 82 from both sides of the equation,
82 - 82 + angle C = 180 - 82
angle C = 98 degrees
In triangle DEF,
angle D = 22
angle E = 50
Thus,
22 + 50 + angle F = 180
72 + angle F = 180
Subtracting 72 from both sides of the equation,
72 - 72 + angle F = 180 - 72
angle F = 108 degrees
