Question

Find the value of each variable given the triangle.
How I solve this

Answer 1

m∠1 = 108°

m∠2 = 72°

Explanation:

By applying triangle sum theorem in the given triangle,

Sum of all interior angles = 180°

38° + 70° + m∠2 = 180°

m∠2 = 180° - 108°

= 72°

Since, angles 1 and 2 are the linear angles,

Therefore, m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°

m∠1 + 72° = 180°

m∠1 = 180° - 72°

m∠1 = 108°
