Transcribed Image Text:## Matching Angles with Their Measures
### Instructions:
Match each angle below with its corresponding measure from the given options.
### Diagram Explanation
The diagram displays a set of intersecting lines creating several angles, labeled as \(a\), \(b\), \(d\), and \(e\). Notably:
- Angle \(b\) is given as 40°.
- Angle \(e\) appears to be adjacent to a right angle (90°), forming a straight line with angle \(a\).
- Angle \(d\) is adjacent to \(b\) creating a linear pair.
- Angle \(a\) forms a right angle (90°).
### Matching Options
1. \( \angle e \) \
Match with: \
a. 40° \
b. 140° \
c. 50° \
d. 90°
2. \( \angle d \) \
Match with: \
a. 40° \
b. 140° \
c. 50° \
d. 90°
3. \( \angle a \) \
Match with: \
a. 40° \
b. 140° \
c. 50° \
d. 90°
4. \( \angle b \) \
Match with: \
a. 40° \
b. 140° \
c. 50° \
d. 90°
### Explanation:
- Angle \(b\) is directly given as 40°.
- Considering that \(a\) is a right angle, its measure is 90°.
- Since \(b\) and \(d\) form a linear pair, and \(b\) is 40°, angle \(d\) would be 140° (180° - 40°).
- Angle \(e\) complements angle \(a\) to form a straight line, so it measures 50° (180° - 90° - 40°).
### Solution:
1. \( \angle e \) -> c. 50°
2. \( \angle d \) -> b. 140°
3. \( \angle a \) -> d. 90°
4. \( \angle b \) -> a. 40°
### Summary:
This exercise tests your understanding of complementary and supplementary angles as well as the properties of intersecting lines
