Transcribed Image Text:**Algebra: Find the values of \( m \) and \( n \).**
**Problem 14**
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows two triangles sharing a common side.
- The left triangle is a right triangle with a 45-degree angle indicated.
- The angle adjacent to the right angle is labeled as 45 degrees, making this an isosceles right triangle.
- The larger triangle has the following:
- An angle of 60 degrees near the center.
- One angle labeled as \( n^\circ \) and another labeled as \( m^\circ \).
- The bottom right angle links the two triangles.
**Equations and Relationships:**
1. **Main Triangle:**
- Sum of angles in a triangle: \( 60^\circ + m^\circ + n^\circ = 180^\circ \)
2. **Sub-triangle (Right Triangle):**
- Right angle = 90 degrees
- Other angles = 45 degrees each; base angles of an isosceles right triangle
3. **Geometric Properties:**
- The line with two identical markings indicates equal length sides.
- The line with one identical marking at the bottom is marked for reference but has no additional data given.
