Here are the step-by-step solutions for each problem on the worksheet.
1. Find the angles of A, B, and C.
*
Angle C: Angles that are opposite each other at an intersection (vertical angles) are equal. Angle C is opposite the $32^\circ$ angle. So,
$C = 32^\circ$.
*
Angle A: Angles on a straight line add up to $180^\circ$. Angle A and the $32^\circ$ angle form a straight line.
$$180^\circ - 32^\circ = 148^\circ$$
So,
$A = 148^\circ$.
*
Angle B: Angle B is opposite Angle A (vertical angles), so they are equal. Alternatively, Angle B and the $32^\circ$ angle form a straight line ($180^\circ - 32^\circ = 148^\circ$).
So,
$B = 148^\circ$.
2. Find the angles of A, B, and C.
*
Angle A: Angle A and the $26^\circ$ angle sit together on a straight line. They must add up to $180^\circ$.
$$180^\circ - 26^\circ = 154^\circ$$
So,
$A = 154^\circ$.
*
Angle B: Angle B is vertically opposite the $26^\circ$ angle. Vertical angles are always equal.
So,
$B = 26^\circ$.
*
Angle C: Angle C is vertically opposite Angle A. Since $A = 154^\circ$, then C is also $154^\circ$.
So,
$C = 154^\circ$.
3. Find the angles of A, B, and C.
This problem involves a triangle formed by intersecting lines.
*
Angle C: Look at the bottom left intersection. Angle C and the $120^\circ$ angle are on a straight line.
$$180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ$$
So,
$C = 60^\circ$.
*
Angle B: Now look at the triangle in the middle. The angles inside any triangle always add up to $180^\circ$. We know two angles: Angle C ($60^\circ$) and the angle on the right ($24^\circ$).
$$180^\circ - 60^\circ - 24^\circ = 96^\circ$$
So,
$B = 96^\circ$.
*
Angle A: Angle A and Angle B are on a straight line.
$$180^\circ - 96^\circ = 84^\circ$$
So,
$A = 84^\circ$.
4. Find the angles of A, B, and C.
The arrows on the horizontal lines indicate that they are parallel.
*
Angle A: Angle A and the $32^\circ$ angle are "corresponding angles" (they are in the same position relative to the parallel lines). Corresponding angles are equal.
So,
$A = 32^\circ$.
*
Angle C: Angle C and Angle A are "alternate interior angles" (inside the parallel lines, on opposite sides of the transversal). These are also equal. Or, you can see that Angle C corresponds to the $32^\circ$ angle as well.
So,
$C = 32^\circ$.
*
Angle B: Angle B and Angle C are on a straight line.
$$180^\circ - 32^\circ = 148^\circ$$
So,
$B = 148^\circ$.
