Ⲁⲛ⳽ⲱⲉⲅ:

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ ∠ a = 40°

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ ∠ b = 50°

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ ∠ c = 115 °

Ⲋⲟⳑⳙⲧⳕⲟⲛ :

∠a is formed by the intersection of two lines , so two vertically opposite angles are formed who have same measure , therefore :

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ a = 40°

∠b is formed inside a right angled triangle. As we know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180° , therefore we can find out the measure of ∠b using this angle sum property .

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ ∠a + ∠b + 90° = 180°

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ 40° + ∠b + 90° = 180°

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ ∠b + 130° = 180°

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ ∠b = 180° - 130°

ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ ∠b = 50°

∠c is formed on a straight line by the intersection of another line , i.e the sum of both angles on a straight line is 180°

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ ∠c + 65° = 180°

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ ∠c = 180° - 65°

ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ ∠c = 115°
