Step-by-step solution for: 7 1 Interior And Exterior Angles Worksheet Answer Key - Fill and ...
Problem Analysis:
The task involves solving for the measures of interior and exterior angles of triangles, as well as applying properties of quadrilaterals. Let's break it down step by step.
---
#### Part 1: Finding the Measure of Each Angle
We are given several diagrams with labeled angles and need to find their measures using geometric properties.
---
##### Question 1:
- Diagram: Triangle \( \triangle ABC \)
- Given: \( m\angle B = ? \)
Since no specific angle measures are provided in the diagram, we cannot solve this without additional information. Let’s assume this is a generic triangle where the sum of interior angles is \( 180^\circ \).
Solution:
If more details were provided (e.g., other angles or side lengths), we could use the triangle angle sum property (\( m\angle A + m\angle B + m\angle C = 180^\circ \)) to solve for \( m\angle B \). However, with the current information, we cannot determine \( m\angle B \).
---
##### Question 2:
- Diagram: Triangle \( \triangle DEF \)
- Given: \( m\angle F = ? \)
From the diagram, we see that one angle is labeled as \( 20^\circ \) and another as \( 60^\circ \). Using the triangle angle sum property:
\[
m\angle D + m\angle E + m\angle F = 180^\circ
\]
Substitute the known values:
\[
20^\circ + 60^\circ + m\angle F = 180^\circ
\]
Solve for \( m\angle F \):
\[
80^\circ + m\angle F = 180^\circ
\]
\[
m\angle F = 180^\circ - 80^\circ
\]
\[
m\angle F = 100^\circ
\]
Answer: \( m\angle F = 100^\circ \)
---
##### Question 3:
- Diagram: Triangle \( \triangle GHI \)
- Given: \( m\angle H = ? \)
From the diagram, we see that one angle is labeled as \( 120^\circ \). Since the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is \( 180^\circ \), the remaining two angles must sum to:
\[
180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ
\]
Without additional information about the other angles, we cannot determine \( m\angle H \) uniquely. If the triangle is isosceles or equilateral, further assumptions could be made, but we lack such details.
Solution:
More information is needed to solve for \( m\angle H \).
---
##### Question 4:
- Diagram: Triangle \( \triangle JKL \)
- Given: \( m\angle L = ? \)
From the diagram, we see that one angle is labeled as \( 60^\circ \). Using the triangle angle sum property:
\[
m\angle J + m\angle K + m\angle L = 180^\circ
\]
Substitute the known value:
\[
60^\circ + m\angle K + m\angle L = 180^\circ
\]
Without the measure of \( m\angle K \), we cannot solve for \( m\angle L \) uniquely. Additional information is required.
Solution:
More information is needed to solve for \( m\angle L \).
---
##### Question 5:
- Diagram: Quadrilateral \( PQRS \)
- Given: \( m\angle P = ? \)
From the diagram, we see that three angles are labeled: \( 90^\circ \), \( 70^\circ \), and \( 120^\circ \). The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is \( 360^\circ \). Using this property:
\[
m\angle P + 90^\circ + 70^\circ + 120^\circ = 360^\circ
\]
Solve for \( m\angle P \):
\[
m\angle P + 280^\circ = 360^\circ
\]
\[
m\angle P = 360^\circ - 280^\circ
\]
\[
m\angle P = 80^\circ
\]
Answer: \( m\angle P = 80^\circ \)
---
##### Question 6:
- Diagram: Triangle \( UVWX \)
- Given: \( m\angle X = ? \)
From the diagram, we see that one angle is labeled as \( 60^\circ \) and another as \( 70^\circ \). Using the triangle angle sum property:
\[
m\angle U + m\angle V + m\angle X = 180^\circ
\]
Substitute the known values:
\[
60^\circ + 70^\circ + m\angle X = 180^\circ
\]
Solve for \( m\angle X \):
\[
130^\circ + m\angle X = 180^\circ
\]
\[
m\angle X = 180^\circ - 130^\circ
\]
\[
m\angle X = 50^\circ
\]
Answer: \( m\angle X = 50^\circ \)
---
#### Part 2: Using Knowledge of Interior and Exterior Angles
##### Question 7:
- The sum of the angle measures of a quadrilateral is \( ? \).
The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is always \( 360^\circ \).
Answer: \( 360^\circ \)
---
##### Question 8:
- The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
In a right triangle, one angle is \( 90^\circ \). The sum of the other two angles must be \( 90^\circ \) because the total sum of the angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \). Therefore, the two acute angles are complementary.
Answer: complementary
---
##### Question 9:
- The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles.
This is a fundamental property of triangles. An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent (remote) interior angles.
Answer: remote interior angles
---
##### Question 10:
- The angle measures of a triangle are \( 3x \), \( 4x \), and \( 5x \). Tell the measure of each angle.
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is \( 180^\circ \). Therefore:
\[
3x + 4x + 5x = 180^\circ
\]
Simplify:
\[
12x = 180^\circ
\]
Solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{180^\circ}{12} = 15^\circ
\]
Now find each angle:
\[
3x = 3 \times 15^\circ = 45^\circ
\]
\[
4x = 4 \times 15^\circ = 60^\circ
\]
\[
5x = 5 \times 15^\circ = 75^\circ
\]
Answer: \( 45^\circ, 60^\circ, 75^\circ \)
---
##### Question 11:
- You know that one of the exterior angles of an isosceles triangle is \( 140^\circ \). The angle measures of the triangle could be \( ? \) or \( ? \).
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles. If one exterior angle is \( 140^\circ \), then the adjacent interior angle is:
\[
180^\circ - 140^\circ = 40^\circ
\]
In an isosceles triangle, two angles are equal. Let the two equal angles be \( x \) and the third angle be \( 40^\circ \). Using the triangle angle sum property:
\[
x + x + 40^\circ = 180^\circ
\]
Simplify:
\[
2x + 40^\circ = 180^\circ
\]
Solve for \( x \):
\[
2x = 140^\circ
\]
\[
x = 70^\circ
\]
Thus, the angles of the triangle are \( 70^\circ, 70^\circ, \) and \( 40^\circ \).
Alternatively, if the \( 140^\circ \) exterior angle corresponds to one of the base angles, then the adjacent interior angle is \( 40^\circ \), and the vertex angle would be:
\[
180^\circ - 2 \times 40^\circ = 100^\circ
\]
Thus, the angles of the triangle are \( 40^\circ, 40^\circ, \) and \( 100^\circ \).
Answer: \( 70^\circ, 70^\circ, 40^\circ \) or \( 40^\circ, 40^\circ, 100^\circ \)
---
