Q:

Find the value of m angle 3-m<1

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The value of [tex]m\angle 3-m\angle 1[/tex] = [tex]50^{\circ}[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:Vertical Angle theorem: It is about the angles that are opposite to each other.Also, vertical angle are congruent that means vertical angles are equal.In the given figure; [tex]m\angle 3[/tex] and [tex]70^{\circ}[/tex] are vertical angle then, by vertical angle theorem,  [tex]m\angle3 =70^{\circ}[/tex]. Supplementary angle: the sum of the angles whose measure on the straight line is 180 degree.From the figure, [tex]70^{\circ}[/tex] , [tex]\angle 1[/tex] and [tex]m\angle 2 =90^{\circ}[/tex] forms a straight line.then, by the definition of Supplementary angle;[tex]70^{\circ}+m\angle 1 +m\angle 2=180^{\circ}[/tex]Substituting the value of  [tex]m\angle 2 =90^{\circ}[/tex] in above equation:[tex]70^{\circ}+m\angle 1 + 90^{\circ} =180^{\circ}[/tex] or[tex]160^{\circ}+m\angle 1=180^{\circ}[/tex]Simplify:[tex]m\angle 1=180^{\circ}-160^{\circ} =20^{\circ}[/tex]therefore,  [tex]m\angle 1= 20^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]m\angle 3=70^{\circ}[/tex], the value of [tex]m\angle3-m\angle1= 70^{\circ}-20^{\circ} =50^{\circ}[/tex].
