Example Question #11 :Measurement And Geometry
A quadrilateral is shown, and the angle measures of 3 interior angles are given. Findx, the missing angle measure.
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any polygon can be determined using the following formula:
, whereis the number of sides.
For example, with a quadrilateral, which has 4 sides, you obtain the following calculation:
Solving forrequires setting up an algebraic equation, adding all 4 angles to equal 360 degrees:
Solving foris straightforward: subtract the values of the 3 known angles from both sides:
Example Question #12 :Measurement And Geometry
is the center of the above circle. Calculate.
is the central angle that intercepts, so
.
Therefore, we need to findto obtain our answer.
If the sides of an angle with vertex outside the circle are both tangent to the circle, the angle formed is half the difference of the measures of the arcs. Therefore,
Letting, since the total arc measure of a circle is 360 degrees,
We are also given that
Making substitutions, and solving for:
Multiply both sides by 2:
两边同时减去360:
Divide both sides by:
,
the measure ofand, consequently, that of.

Example Question #19 :Measurement And Geometry
If two angles are supplementary and one angle measures, what is the measurement of the second angle?
Step 1: Define supplementary angles. Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is.
Step 2: Find the other angle by subtracting the given angle from the maximum sum of the two angles.
So,
The missing angle (or second angle) is
