Answer: Shannon is designing a rectangular flag.
Therefore, all the interior angles of this flag measure 90°.
m∠1 + m∠2 = 90°
Since, ∠2 is 3 times as great as the measure of ∠1.
m∠2 = 3(m∠1)
Therefore, m∠1 + 3(m∠1) = 90°
4(m∠1) = 90°
m∠1 = 22.5°
m∠2 = 3(m∠1)
= 3(22.5)°
= 67.5°
m∠3 + m∠4 = 90° [Interior angle of a rectangle]
She thinks ∠3 and ∠4 are equal,
m∠3 = m∠4
m∠3 + m∠3 = 90°
2m∠3 = 90°
m∠3 = 45°
m∠4 = m∠3 = 45°
m∠2 = m∠6 [Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]
Therefore, m∠2 = m∠6 = 67.5°
Finally she wants the measure of ∠6 is half of the measure of ∠5.
m∠6 = (m∠5)
67.5° = (m∠5)
m∠5 = 2(67.5)°
= 135°
