Let's find the measure of the missing angles.

• Measure of angle h:

Apply the vertical angles theorem.

Vertically opposite angles are congruent.

m∠h = 60 degrees

• Measure of angle g:

We know that angles 60 + f + g + h = 360 (a circle)

m∠f = m∠g

Thus, we have:

m∠g + m∠g = 360 - 60 - 60

2m∠g = 240


m\angle g=(240)/(2)=120\text{ degr}ees

m∠g = 120 degrees

• Measure of angle f:

m∠f = m∠g

Thus, we have:

m∠f = 120 degrees

• Measure of angle k:

Apply the linear pair of angles theorem,

If 2 angles form a linear pair, they are supplementary. Suplementary angles sum up to 180 degrees.

Thus,

m∠k + 124 = 180

Subtract 124 from both sides:

m∠k + 124 - 124 = 180 - 124

m∠k = 56 degrees

• Measure of angle j:

Apply the vertical angles theorem.

Vertical angles are congruent.

Therefore,

m∠j = 124 degrees

• Measure ,of angle i:

Apply the vertical angles theorem.

m∠i = m∠k

m∠i = 56 degrees

• Measure of angle d:

Angle d is a right angle.

Thus, we have:

m∠d = 90 degrees

• Measure of angle b:

m∠b = 90 degrees

• Measure ,of angle c:

m∠c + 64 = 90

Subtract 64 from both sides:

m∠c + 64 - 64 = 90 - 64

m∠c = 26 degrees

• Measure of angle e:

m∠e = m∠c

m∠e = 26 degrees

• Measure of angle a

m∠a = 64 degrees

ANSWER:

m∠a = 64 degrees

m∠b = 90 degrees

m∠c = 26 degrees

m∠d = 90 degrees

m∠e = 26 degrees

m∠f = 120 degrees

m∠g = 120 degrees

m∠h = 60 degrees

m∠i = 56 degrees

m∠j = 124 degrees
