Question

2. Jonas measured ZDCG to be 56° and ZDCF to be 124. He wants to verify that DCF is

124° using the Angle Addition Postulate.
O
124° + 180°
D
124-56°
180°-56°
7
180° +56°
CLEAR ALL
Which is the correct calculation Jonas must use?

Answer 1

The correct calculation is 180 - 56

Explanation:

From the question, we have DCG and DCF

looking at the diagram, we can see that both lie on a straight line and are a linear pair

So the addition of both will give 180

But DCG is 56

So;

DCF + 56 = 180

So;

DCF = 180 - 56
