Quad. FLAT is a rectangle.
If $m 鈭� 1 = 18$ find the measures of $鈭� 2, 鈭� 3$ and $鈭� 4$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The measures of $鈭� 2, 鈭� 3$ and $鈭� 4$ are $18, 72 and 72$ respectively.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Description of step.

The diagonals of the rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other.

Therefore, $O T = O A$ . As $O T = O A$ , by isosceles triangle theorem the angles opposite to these sides are equal, that is, $m 鈭� 1 = m 鈭� 2$ . Therefore $m 鈭� 2 = 18$ .

Step 2. Description of step.

From the given figure it can be observed that $鈭� 2$ and $鈭� 3$ are complementary angles, such that,

$\begin{matrix} m 鈭� 2 + m 鈭� 3 = 90 \\ 18 + m 鈭� 3 = 90 \\ m 鈭� 3 = 90 鈭� 18 \\ = 72 \end{matrix}$

Step 3. Description of step.

The diagonals of the rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other.

Therefore, $O A = O L$ . As $O A = O L$ , by isosceles triangle theorem the angles opposite to these sides are equal, that is, $m 鈭� 3 = m 鈭� 4$ . Therefore $m 鈭� 4 = 72$ .

Therefore, the measures of $鈭� 2, 鈭� 3$ and $鈭� 4$ are $18, 72 and72$ respectively.
