Problem 1: Use the diagram below to complete each part



#### Diagram Notes:
- Point B is the vertex of several angles.
- Rays: BA, BE, BD, BC, BF
- Given: $ \overrightarrow{BF} \perp \overrightarrow{AC} $ → So angle between BF and AC is 90°
- $ m\angle DBC = 108^\circ $
- $ m\angle EBD = 36^\circ $

---

#### a) Name the vertex of ∠4

- ∠4 is formed by rays BE and BA, so the vertex is B
Correct: B

---

#### b) Name the sides of ∠1

- ∠1 is formed by rays BD and BC → sides are BD and BC
Incorrect: You wrote "BE" — that’s not a side of ∠1.

Correct answer: BD and BC

---

#### c) Write another name for ∠5

- ∠5 is formed by rays BE and BD → it's the same as ∠EBD
Correct: ∠EBD

---

#### d) Classify each angle:

- ∠FBC: From diagram, BF ⊥ AC, and since AC is horizontal and BF is vertical, ∠FBC is 90°, so it's a right angle
Correct: 90° (but classification should be “right angle”)

- ∠EBF: From diagram, this is formed by BE and BF. Since BF is perpendicular to AC, and BE is going toward A, we can see that ∠EBF is 90° (because BE is along AC, and BF is perpendicular). So it's also a right angle
Correct: 90°

- ∠ABC: This is a straight line from A to C through B → it's a straight angle, so 180°
Correct: 180°

So classification:
- ∠FBC: Right angle
- ∠EBF: Right angle
- ∠ABC: Straight angle

---

#### g) Name an angle bisector

- An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts.
- We’re told $ m\angle EBD = 36^\circ $, $ m\angle DBC = 108^\circ $
- Then $ m\angle EBC = m\angle EBD + m\angle DBC = 36 + 108 = 144^\circ $? Wait — no!

Wait: Actually, look at the diagram. Points: D, B, C — with ∠DBC = 108°, and ∠EBD = 36°, but they may not be adjacent in a way that adds directly.

But wait — if you look at the diagram carefully:

- ∠EBD = 36°
- ∠DBC = 108°
- And these are adjacent angles sharing ray BD.

So total ∠EBC = ∠EBD + ∠DBC = 36° + 108° = 144°?

But then later, part h says: If ∠EBD = 36°, ∠DBC = 108°, find ∠EBC → you wrote 36°, which is wrong.

Wait — let's re-express.

Hold on: There might be a misunderstanding in labeling.

But looking at your work:

You said:
> h) If m∠EBD = 36° and m∠DBC = 108°, find m∠EBC: 36°

That’s incorrect.

Actually, ∠EBC is composed of ∠EBD and ∠DBC only if D lies between E and C.

From the diagram:
- Ray BE, BD, BC
- So if D is between E and C, then ∠EBC = ∠EBD + ∠DBC = 36° + 108° = 144°

But you wrote 36° — that’s wrong.

Also, in part i): If m∠EBF = 117°, find m∠ABE

We know:
- BF ⊥ AC → so ∠ABF = 90°
- But ∠EBF = 117°
- So ∠ABE = ∠EBF - ∠ABF = 117° - 90° = 27°

But you wrote 36° — again, incorrect.

Let’s fix everything.

---

Correcting Problem 1:



#### a) Vertex of ∠4 → B
#### b) Sides of ∠1 → BD and BC (you said BE)
#### c) Another name for ∠5 → ∠EBD
#### d) Classify:
- ∠FBC: Right angle (90°)
- ∠EBF: Right angle (90°)
- ∠ABC: Straight angle (180°)

#### g) Angle bisector → You wrote DBF — but DBF is not a ray.

Wait — what is an angle bisector?

Look: ∠EBD = 36°, ∠DBC = 108° — is there a ray that splits one of these?

But we don’t have info about bisectors.

Wait — maybe BD is the bisector of some angle?

But ∠EBC = 36° + 108° = 144°, and BD splits it into 36° and 108° — not equal → not bisector.

Alternatively, perhaps BF? But no.

Wait — maybe BE? No.

No obvious bisector unless more info.

But maybe BD is bisecting ∠EBC? No — 36 ≠ 108.

Wait — perhaps the question wants us to identify a bisector based on given info.

But nothing indicates a bisector.

Wait — perhaps BF is the bisector of ∠ABC?

But ∠ABC is 180°, and BF is perpendicular to AC → so it splits it into two 90° angles → yes!

So BF is the angle bisector of ∠ABC because it splits the straight angle into two 90° angles.

So correct answer: BF

You wrote DBF — that’s not a ray. Probably meant BF

So g) Answer: BF

---

#### h) If m∠EBD = 36° and m∠DBC = 108°, find m∠EBC

Since both angles share ray BD and are adjacent, and E-B-D-C are in order around point B:

So ∠EBC = ∠EBD + ∠DBC = 36° + 108° = 144°

You wrote 36° — incorrect.

Correct: 144°

---

#### i) If m∠EBF = 117°, find m∠ABE

We know:
- BF ⊥ AC → so ∠ABF = 90°
- ∠EBF = 117°
- ∠ABE = ∠EBF - ∠ABF = 117° - 90° = 27°

Because ray BA is along AC, and BE is between BA and BF.

So ∠ABE = 27°

You wrote 36° — incorrect.

Correct: 27°

---

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: Point K, rays KM, KL, KJ

Angles:
- ∠MKL = 83°
- ∠JKL = 127°
- ∠JKM = 9x - 10

Note: ∠JKL = ∠JKM + ∠MKL

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

You wrote:
```
9x - 10 = 44
9x = 54
x = 6
```

But where did 44 come from?

Wait — you probably did:
127 - 83 = 44 → so ∠JKM = 44° → then 9x - 10 = 44 → x = 6

Yes, that’s correct.

So even though you didn’t write the full equation, your logic is right.

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: E-H-G-F, so ∠EFG = ∠EFH + ∠HFG

So:
$$
\angle EFG = \angle EFH + \angle HFG \\
18x + 11 = (5x + 1) + 62 \\
18x + 11 = 5x + 63 \\
18x - 5x = 63 - 11 \\
13x = 52 \\
x = 4
$$

Now plug back:
- $ 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 →

You wrote:
```
5x+1 +62 = 18x+11
63 = 13x
x=?
```

Then:
- x = 4
- m∠EFH = 21°
- m∠EFG = 83°

All correct.

---

Problem 4:


> If $ m\angle MOP = (3x + 3)^\circ $, $ m\angle NOP = (9x - 15)^\circ $, and $ m\angle MON = 63^\circ $, find each measure.

Diagram: M-O-N-P, so ∠MON = ∠MOP + ∠PON? Wait — need to check.

Wait: ∠MON = 63°, ∠MOP = 3x+3, ∠NOP = 9x-15

But if O is the vertex, and points M, N, P, likely: M-O-N, N-O-P → so ∠MON and ∠NOP are adjacent.

But ∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP?

Yes, if N is between M and P.

So:
$$
\angle MOP = \angle MON + \angle NOP \\
3x + 3 = 63 + (9x - 15) \\
3x + 3 = 63 + 9x - 15 \\
3x + 3 = 9x + 48 \\
3 - 48 = 9x - 3x \\
-45 = 6x \\
x = -7.5
$$

Wait — negative angle? That can't be.

But you wrote:
```
3x + 3 + 9x - 15 = 63
12x - 12 = 63
12x = 75
x = 6.25
```

Wait — you assumed ∠MOP + ∠NOP = ∠MON? That doesn't make sense.

Wait — perhaps the diagram shows:

- M-O-N: ∠MON = 63°
- N-O-P: ∠NOP = 9x - 15
- M-O-P: ∠MOP = 3x + 3

But if M-O-N-P, then ∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP

So:
$$
\angle MOP = \angle MON + \angle NOP \\
3x + 3 = 63 + (9x - 15) \\
3x + 3 = 9x + 48 \\
3 - 48 = 9x - 3x \\
-45 = 6x \\
x = -7.5
$$

Still negative.

But angles can't be negative.

Wait — maybe ∠MOP = 3x + 3 is the larger one?

Wait — perhaps ∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP → so 3x+3 = 63 + (9x - 15)

But that gives x = -7.5 → impossible.

Alternative: Maybe ∠MOP is not the sum?

Wait — perhaps the diagram has ray ON between OM and OP.

So ∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP

So:
$$
3x + 3 = 63 + (9x - 15) \\
3x + 3 = 9x + 48 \\
-6x = 45 \\
x = -7.5
$$

Still invalid.

But you wrote:
```
3x + 3 + 9x - 15 = 63
12x - 12 = 63
12x = 75
x = 6.25
```

This implies:
∠MOP + ∠NOP = ∠MON → which would mean they overlap or something.

But that doesn't make sense.

Wait — perhaps ∠MOP and ∠NOP are adjacent, and ∠MON is the difference?

Wait — maybe the diagram is different.

Wait — could it be that ∠MON = ∠MOP - ∠NOP?

Suppose M-O-P, and N is between M and P → then ∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP

So again: 3x + 3 = 63 + (9x - 15)

Same problem.

Unless the labels are swapped.

Wait — maybe ∠MOP = 3x + 3, ∠NOP = 9x - 15, and ∠MON = 63°

But if N is between M and P, then ∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP → same issue.

Wait — unless ∠MOP is actually ∠MON + ∠NOP → so:

$$
3x + 3 = 63 + (9x - 15) \\
3x + 3 = 9x + 48 \\
-6x = 45 \\
x = -7.5
$$

Still invalid.

But you got x = 6.25

Let’s try:
If instead, ∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP → then:
3x + 3 = 63 + (9x - 15) → no.

Wait — maybe the expression is reversed.

Wait — perhaps the problem says:
- ∠MOP = 3x + 3
- ∠NOP = 9x - 15
- ∠MON = 63°

And the diagram shows that ∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP → so:
3x + 3 = 63 + (9x - 15) → still bad.

Wait — unless ∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP → so:

3x + 3 = 63 + (9x - 15) → no.

Wait — maybe it's ∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP → but ∠MOP = 3x+3, ∠MON = 63, ∠NOP = 9x-15

So:
3x + 3 = 63 + (9x - 15) → 3x + 3 = 9x + 48 → x = -7.5 → impossible.

But you solved:
3x + 3 + 9x - 15 = 63 → 12x - 12 = 63 → x = 75/12 = 6.25

That suggests:
∠MOP + ∠NOP = ∠MON → which would mean they are on opposite sides.

But geometrically, that doesn't make sense unless it's a reflex angle.

Alternatively, perhaps the diagram has ray ON between OM and OP, so:
∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP

But then ∠MOP must be greater than ∠MON.

But 3x + 3 = ? 63 + (9x - 15) → left side smaller than right for positive x.

So unless the expressions are switched.

Wait — maybe ∠MOP = 9x - 15, and ∠NOP = 3x + 3?

But the problem says:
- m∠MOP = (3x + 3)°
- m∠NOP = (9x - 15)°
- m∠MON = 63°

Perhaps the diagram shows that ∠MON = ∠MOP - ∠NOP?

Then:
63 = (3x + 3) - (9x - 15) = 3x + 3 - 9x + 15 = -6x + 18

So:
63 = -6x + 18 → 6x = 18 - 63 = -45 → x = -7.5 → again negative.

Not possible.

Wait — maybe it's ∠MOP = ∠MON + ∠NOP → so:
3x + 3 = 63 + (9x - 15) → same issue.

But you got x = 6.25, and then:
m∠MOP = 3(6.25) + 3 = 18.75 + 3 = 21.75°
m∠NOP = 9(6.25) - 15 = 56.25 - 15 = 41.25°
Sum = 21.75 + 41.25 = 63° → oh! That equals ∠MON

So you assumed:
∠MOP + ∠NOP = ∠MON → 63°

But that would only make sense if rays are arranged such that ∠MOP and ∠NOP are adjacent and together form ∠MON.

But that would require P and N to be on the same side.

Wait — maybe the diagram has ray OP and ON on the same side, and OM on the other.

But typically, ∠MON is between M and N.

Wait — perhaps the correct interpretation is that ∠MON = ∠MOP + ∠PON → but PON is same as NOP.

But you have:
∠MOP = 3x+3
∠NOP = 9x-15
Sum = 3x+3 + 9x-15 = 12x -12

Set equal to ∠MON = 63°

So:
12x - 12 = 63 → 12x = 75 → x = 6.25

Then:
- ∠MOP = 3(6.25) + 3 = 18.75 + 3 = 21.75°
- ∠NOP = 9(6.25) - 15 = 56.25 - 15 = 41.25°
- Sum = 63° → matches ∠MON

So the assumption is: ∠MON = ∠MOP + ∠NOP → meaning that P is between M and N.

So ray OP is between OM and ON.

So the diagram is: M-O-P-N

Then ∠MON = ∠MOP + ∠PON = ∠MOP + ∠NOP

So yes, valid.

So your solution is correct.

x = 6.25

Then:
- m∠MOP = 21.75°
- m∠NOP = 41.25°

You wrote:
```
x = 6.25
m∠MOP = 21.75
m∠NOP = 41.25
```

Correct.

---

Problem 5:


> If $ m\angle MNO = (5x + 3)^\circ $, $ m\angle ONP = (3x - 4)^\circ $, and ∠MNP is a right angle, find each measure.

So ∠MNP = 90°

And ∠MNP = ∠MNO + ∠ONP → since O is on MN and NP

So:
$$
(5x + 3) + (3x - 4) = 90 \\
8x - 1 = 90 \\
8x = 91 \\
x = 11.375
$$

You wrote:
```
5x+3 + 3x-4 = 90
8x -1 = 90
8x = 91
x = ?
```

Then:
- x = 11.375
- m∠MNO = 5(11.375) + 3 = 56.875 + 3 = 59.875°
- m∠ONP = 3(11.375) - 4 = 34.125 - 4 = 30.125°

Sum: 59.875 + 30.125 = 90° → correct.

So your work is correct.

x = 11.375
