Problem 1: Use the diagram to complete each part



Given:
- Diagram with point $ B $ at center, rays going to points $ A, C, D, E, F $
- $ \overrightarrow{BF} \perp \overrightarrow{AC} $ → So $ \angle FBC = 90^\circ $
- $ m\angle DBC = 108^\circ $
- $ m\angle EBD = 36^\circ $

#### a) Name the vertex of $ \angle 4 $.
Answer: B
✔️ Correct. The vertex is the common endpoint of the two rays forming the angle. For $ \angle 4 $, it’s at point $ B $.

#### b) Name the sides of $ \angle 1 $.
Answer: BE, BD
✔️ Correct. $ \angle 1 $ is $ \angle EBD $, so its sides are rays $ \overrightarrow{BE} $ and $ \overrightarrow{BD} $. (Note: The student wrote "BE", but should include both sides.)

#### c) Write another name for $ \angle 5 $.
Answer: $ \angle CBD $
Wait — the student wrote $ \angle EBD $, which is incorrect.

But $ \angle 5 $ is between $ \overrightarrow{BD} $ and $ \overrightarrow{BE} $? Wait — looking at the diagram:

From the labels:
- $ \angle 1 $: $ \angle EBD $
- $ \angle 2 $: $ \angle DBC $
- $ \angle 3 $: $ \angle CBF $
- $ \angle 4 $: $ \angle FBA $
- $ \angle 5 $: $ \angle ABE $

Wait — let's recheck the labeling.

Looking at the diagram:

- Ray $ \overrightarrow{BD} $ splits $ \angle ABC $ into $ \angle 1 $ and $ \angle 2 $
- $ \angle 1 $: $ \angle EBD $
- $ \angle 2 $: $ \angle DBC $
- $ \angle 3 $: $ \angle CBF $
- $ \angle 4 $: $ \angle FBA $
- $ \angle 5 $: $ \angle ABE $

So $ \angle 5 $ is formed by rays $ \overrightarrow{BA} $ and $ \overrightarrow{BE} $ → so another name is $ \angle ABE $

Student wrote: $ \angle EBD $ → that's $ \angle 1 $, not $ \angle 5 $

Correct answer: $ \angle ABE $

#### d) Classify each angle:
- $ \angle FBC $: $ 90^\circ $ → right angle
- $ \angle EBF $: $ 90^\circ $ → right angle
- $ \angle ABC $: $ 180^\circ $ → straight angle

All correct.

#### g) Name an angle bisector.
Student wrote: $ \overrightarrow{DBF} $

An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts.

From the diagram:
- $ \angle DBC = 108^\circ $
- $ \angle EBD = 36^\circ $
- But $ \angle EBC = \angle EBD + \angle DBC = 36^\circ + 108^\circ = 144^\circ $

No indication that any ray bisects an angle unless specified.

But wait — in part h), we’re told $ m\angle EBD = 36^\circ $, $ m\angle DBC = 108^\circ $, so $ \angle EBC = 144^\circ $

Is $ \overrightarrow{BD} $ bisecting $ \angle EBC $? No — because $ 36^\circ \ne 108^\circ $

But maybe $ \overrightarrow{BF} $ is perpendicular to $ AC $, and $ \angle FBC = 90^\circ $

We don’t have enough info to say $ \overrightarrow{BD} $ or $ \overrightarrow{BF} $ is a bisector unless angles are equal.

Wait — perhaps $ \overrightarrow{BD} $ is not a bisector.

But the student wrote $ \overrightarrow{DBF} $, which is not even a ray — it’s a line segment from D to B to F.

A bisector must be a ray starting at the vertex.

Possibly, the student meant $ \overrightarrow{BD} $ or $ \overrightarrow{BF} $?

But no clear evidence that either bisects an angle.

Wait — maybe $ \angle ABC $ is straight ($ 180^\circ $), and $ \overrightarrow{BF} \perp \overrightarrow{AC} $, so $ \angle FBC = 90^\circ $, $ \angle FBA = 90^\circ $

So $ \overrightarrow{BF} $ splits $ \angle ABC $ into two $ 90^\circ $ angles.

Therefore, $ \overrightarrow{BF} $ is the angle bisector of $ \angle ABC $

So the correct answer is: $ \overrightarrow{BF} $

Student wrote $ \overrightarrow{DBF} $ — invalid notation; likely meant $ \overrightarrow{BF} $

Correct: $ \overrightarrow{BF} $

#### h) If $ m\angle EBD = 36^\circ $ and $ m\angle DBC = 108^\circ $, find $ m\angle EBC $

$ \angle EBC = \angle EBD + \angle DBC = 36^\circ + 108^\circ = 144^\circ $

Student wrote: $ 36^\circ $ → Incorrect

Correct: $ 144^\circ $

#### i) If $ m\angle EBF = 117^\circ $, find $ m\angle ABE $

We know:
- $ \angle EBF = 117^\circ $
- $ \angle FBA = ? $
- $ \angle ABC = 180^\circ $ (straight angle)
- $ \angle EBF $ and $ \angle ABE $ are adjacent angles that together make $ \angle ABF $, but we need to see how they fit.

Wait — let's look carefully.

Points: $ A, B, C $ lie on a straight line (since $ \angle ABC = 180^\circ $)

$ \overrightarrow{BF} \perp \overrightarrow{AC} $ → so $ \angle FBC = 90^\circ $, $ \angle FBA = 90^\circ $

So $ \angle ABF = 90^\circ $

Now, $ \angle EBF = 117^\circ $? But $ \angle ABF = 90^\circ $, and $ \angle EBF $ is part of $ \angle ABF $? That can't be — $ 117^\circ > 90^\circ $

Contradiction.

Wait — maybe the diagram shows $ \angle EBF $ including $ \angle EBD $, $ \angle DBC $, and $ \angle CBF $? Let's reconstruct.

From the diagram:

- $ \angle EBF $ is composed of $ \angle EBD + \angle DBC + \angle CBF $? But $ \angle DBC = 108^\circ $, $ \angle CBF = 90^\circ $, already over $ 180^\circ $

Wait — something's wrong.

Wait — perhaps $ \angle EBF $ is the angle from $ E $ to $ F $ passing through $ B $

But $ \angle EBD = 36^\circ $, $ \angle DBC = 108^\circ $, so $ \angle EBC = 144^\circ $

Then $ \angle CBF = 90^\circ $, so total $ \angle EBF = \angle EBC + \angle CBF = 144^\circ + 90^\circ = 234^\circ $? That doesn't make sense.

Wait — angles around a point sum to $ 360^\circ $

Let’s assume:

- $ \angle ABC = 180^\circ $ (straight line)
- $ \overrightarrow{BF} \perp \overrightarrow{AC} $ → $ \angle FBC = 90^\circ $, $ \angle FBA = 90^\circ $
- $ \angle EBD = 36^\circ $
- $ \angle DBC = 108^\circ $
- So $ \angle EBD + \angle DBC = 36^\circ + 108^\circ = 144^\circ $ → this is $ \angle EBC $
- Then $ \angle EBF = \angle EBC + \angle CBF = 144^\circ + 90^\circ = 234^\circ $? But student says $ m\angle EBF = 117^\circ $

That suggests $ \angle EBF $ is not going through $ C $

Perhaps $ \angle EBF $ is the smaller angle from $ E $ to $ F $, passing through $ D $ and $ C $? But then it would be large.

Alternatively, maybe $ \angle EBF $ is measured clockwise or counterclockwise.

Wait — perhaps $ \angle EBF $ includes $ \angle EBD $, $ \angle DBF $? But $ \angle DBF $ is not labeled.

Wait — perhaps $ \angle EBF $ is made up of $ \angle EBD $ and $ \angle DBF $

But we don’t know $ \angle DBF $

But we do know $ \angle DBC = 108^\circ $, $ \angle CBF = 90^\circ $, so $ \angle DBF = \angle DBC + \angle CBF = 108^\circ + 90^\circ = 198^\circ $? Too big.

This is confusing.

Wait — maybe $ \angle EBF $ is the angle from $ E $ to $ F $ via the other side.

But $ \angle EBF = 117^\circ $, and we are to find $ \angle ABE $

Let’s suppose $ \angle ABE $ is the angle from $ A $ to $ E $, and $ \angle EBF $ is from $ E $ to $ F $, and together they might make $ \angle ABF = 90^\circ $

But $ \angle EBF = 117^\circ > 90^\circ $, so impossible.

Unless $ \angle EBF $ is not inside $ \angle ABF $

Wait — perhaps $ \angle EBF $ goes from $ E $ to $ F $ passing through $ D $, $ C $, etc.

But $ \angle EBD = 36^\circ $, $ \angle DBC = 108^\circ $, $ \angle CBF = 90^\circ $, so $ \angle EBF = 36^\circ + 108^\circ + 90^\circ = 234^\circ $

But student says $ m\angle EBF = 117^\circ $ — so likely, $ \angle EBF $ is the other way around.

Wait — angles can be measured in two directions.

So if $ \angle EBF = 117^\circ $, and $ \angle ABC = 180^\circ $, $ \angle FBC = 90^\circ $, $ \angle FBA = 90^\circ $

Then $ \angle EBF $ could be measured from $ E $ to $ F $ passing through $ A $

So $ \angle EBF = \angle EBA + \angle ABF $

But $ \angle ABF = 90^\circ $, so $ \angle EBA = \angle EBF - \angle ABF = 117^\circ - 90^\circ = 27^\circ $

So $ m\angle ABE = 27^\circ $

But student wrote $ 36^\circ $

Wait — maybe $ \angle EBF $ includes $ \angle EBD $ and $ \angle DBF $, but we need to use known values.

Let me try a different approach.

Assume:

- $ \angle EBD = 36^\circ $
- $ \angle DBC = 108^\circ $
- $ \angle CBF = 90^\circ $
- $ \angle FBA = 90^\circ $

Then total around point B: $ 36^\circ + 108^\circ + 90^\circ + 90^\circ = 324^\circ $ — missing $ 36^\circ $, which must be $ \angle ABE $? But $ \angle ABE $ is already included in $ \angle FBA $

Wait — perhaps the rays are ordered: $ \overrightarrow{BA}, \overrightarrow{BE}, \overrightarrow{BD}, \overrightarrow{BC}, \overrightarrow{BF} $

So angles:

- $ \angle ABE = x $
- $ \angle EBD = 36^\circ $
- $ \angle DBC = 108^\circ $
- $ \angle CBF = 90^\circ $
- $ \angle FBA = 90^\circ $ — but this overlaps

Wait — $ \angle FBA $ is from $ F $ to $ A $, which may include $ \angle FBC $, $ \angle CBA $ — no.

Actually, $ \angle FBA $ is from $ F $ to $ A $, and since $ \overrightarrow{BF} \perp \overrightarrow{AC} $, and $ A-B-C $ straight, then $ \angle FBA = 90^\circ $, $ \angle FBC = 90^\circ $

So $ \angle ABF = 90^\circ $

Now, $ \angle EBF = 117^\circ $ — but $ \angle ABF = 90^\circ $, so $ \angle EBF $ cannot be larger than $ \angle ABF $ if $ E $ is between $ A $ and $ F $

Unless $ E $ is on the other side.

Wait — perhaps $ \angle EBF $ is measured across the top.

But $ \angle EBD = 36^\circ $, so $ \angle EBA $ is part of $ \angle ABE $

Let’s assume the order of rays from $ B $ is:

Clockwise: $ \overrightarrow{BA}, \overrightarrow{BE}, \overrightarrow{BD}, \overrightarrow{BC}, \overrightarrow{BF} $

Then:
- $ \angle ABE = ? $
- $ \angle EBD = 36^\circ $
- $ \angle DBC = 108^\circ $
- $ \angle CBF = 90^\circ $
- $ \angle FBA = 90^\circ $ — but $ \angle FBA $ is from $ F $ to $ A $, which would be $ \angle FBC + \angle CBA $, but $ \angle CBA = 180^\circ $, so too big.

Wait — better: since $ A-B-C $ is straight, $ \angle ABC = 180^\circ $

$ \overrightarrow{BF} \perp \overrightarrow{AC} $, so $ \angle FBC = 90^\circ $, $ \angle FBA = 90^\circ $

So $ \angle ABF = 90^\circ $, $ \angle FBC = 90^\circ $

Now, $ \angle EBF $ is the angle from $ E $ to $ F $, which could be $ \angle EBA + \angle ABF $ if $ E $ is on the same side as $ A $

But $ \angle ABF = 90^\circ $, so $ \angle EBF = \angle EBA + 90^\circ $

If $ m\angle EBF = 117^\circ $, then $ \angle EBA = 117^\circ - 90^\circ = 27^\circ $

So $ m\angle ABE = 27^\circ $

But student wrote $ 36^\circ $ — incorrect.

Correct: $ 27^\circ $

Problem 2:


If $ m\angle MKL = 83^\circ $, $ m\angle JKL = 127^\circ $, and $ m\angle JKM = (9x - 10)^\circ $, find $ x $

From the diagram, $ \angle JKL = \angle JKM + \angle MKL $

So:
$$
m\angle JKL = m\angle JKM + m\angle MKL
$$
$$
127^\circ = (9x - 10)^\circ + 83^\circ
$$
$$
127 = 9x - 10 + 83
$$
$$
127 = 9x + 73
$$
$$
127 - 73 = 9x
$$
$$
54 = 9x
$$
$$
x = 6
$$

Student got $ x = 6 $, correct.

Problem 3:


If $ m\angle EFH = (5x + 1)^\circ $, $ m\angle HFG = 62^\circ $, and $ m\angle EFG = (18x + 11)^\circ $, find each measure.

From diagram: $ \angle EFG = \angle EFH + \angle HFG $

So:
$$
(18x + 11) = (5x + 1) + 62
$$
$$
18x + 11 = 5x + 63
$$
$$
18x - 5x = 63 - 11
$$
$$
13x = 52
$$
$$
x = 4
$$

Now:
- $ m\angle EFH = 5(4) + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21^\circ $
- $ m\angle HFG = 62^\circ $
- $ m\angle EFG = 18(4) + 11 = 72 + 11 = 83^\circ $

Check: $ 21 + 62 = 83 $ — correct.

Student had:
- $ 5x + 1 + 62 = 18x + 11 $
- $ 62 = 13x + 11 $ → mistake!
- $ 51 = 13x $ → $ x = 51/13 \approx 3.92 $ — incorrect

Correct: $ x = 4 $, $ m\angle EFH = 21^\circ $, $ m\angle EFG = 83^\circ $

---

Problem 4:


If $ m\angle MNP = (3x - 5)^\circ $, $ m\angle MNO = (9x - 15)^\circ $, and $ m\angle ONP = 30^\circ $, find measures.

Diagram shows $ \angle MNO = \angle MNP + \angle PNO $? Wait — likely $ \angle MNO = \angle MNP + \angle PNO $

But $ \angle ONP = 30^\circ $, so $ \angle PNO = 30^\circ $

So:
$$
m\angle MNO = m\angle MNP + m\angle PNO
$$
$$
(9x - 15) = (3x - 5) + 30
$$
$$
9x - 15 = 3x + 25
$$
$$
9x - 3x = 25 + 15
$$
$$
6x = 40
$$
$$
x = \frac{40}{6} = \frac{20}{3} \approx 6.67
$$

Then:
- $ m\angle MNP = 3(\frac{20}{3}) - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15^\circ $
- $ m\angle MNO = 9(\frac{20}{3}) - 15 = 60 - 15 = 45^\circ $
- $ m\angle ONP = 30^\circ $

Check: $ 15 + 30 = 45 $ — correct.

Student had:
- $ 9x - 15 = 3x - 5 + 30 $
- $ 9x - 15 = 3x + 25 $
- $ 6x = 40 $ → $ x = 40/6 = 20/3 $
- Then $ m\angle MNP = 3(20/3) - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15^\circ $
- $ m\angle MNO = 9(20/3) - 15 = 60 - 15 = 45^\circ $

Student did this correctly.

Problem 5:


If $ m\angle MOP = (5x + 3)^\circ $, $ m\angle NOP = (3x - 4)^\circ $, and $ \angle MON $ is a right angle, find measures.

Diagram: $ \angle MON = \angle MOP + \angle PON $? Wait — likely $ \angle MON = \angle MOP + \angle PON $

But $ \angle MON = 90^\circ $

And $ \angle NOP = (3x - 4)^\circ $, so $ \angle PON = 3x - 4 $

So:
$$
m\angle MON = m\angle MOP + m\angle PON
$$
$$
90 = (5x + 3) + (3x - 4)
$$
$$
90 = 8x - 1
$$
$$
91 = 8x
$$
$$
x = \frac{91}{8} = 11.375
$$

Then:
- $ m\angle MOP = 5(91/8) + 3 = 455/8 + 24/8 = 479/8 = 59.875^\circ $
- $ m\angle NOP = 3(91/8) - 4 = 273/8 - 32/8 = 241/8 = 30.125^\circ $
- Sum: $ 59.875 + 30.125 = 90^\circ $ — correct.

But student wrote:
- $ 5x + 3 + 3x - 4 = 90 $
- $ 8x - 1 = 90 $
- $ 8x = 91 $
- $ x = 91/8 $
- Then $ m\angle MOP = 5(91/8) + 3 = 455/8 + 24/8 = 479/8 = 59.875^\circ $
- $ m\angle NOP = 3(91/8) - 4 = 273/8 - 32/8 = 241/8 = 30.125^\circ $

Student did this correctly.
