Substitute: \((\beta - 60^\circ) + \beta = 180^\circ\). 3. Solve: \(2\beta = 240^\circ\), so \(\beta = 120^\circ\) and \(\alpha = 60^\circ\). 4. Vertical angles are congruent, so the four angle measures alternate between \(60^\circ\) and \(120^\circ\).

The four angles measure \(60^\circ\), \(120^\circ\), \(60^\circ\), and \(120^\circ\).

- What is the total angle measure around a point? - Replace \(\gamma\) and \(\delta\) using the given equalities. - What geometric conclusion follows from a \(180^\circ\) angle?

1. Angles around a point sum to \(360^\circ\), so \(\alpha + \beta + \gamma + \delta = 360^\circ\). 2. Substituting \(\gamma = \alpha\) and \(\delta = \beta\) gives \(\alpha + \beta + \alpha + \beta = 360^\circ\). 3. Therefore, \(2(\alpha + \beta) = 360^\circ\), so \(\alpha + \beta = 180^\circ\). 4. The nonshared sides of adjacent angles \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are therefore opposite rays, so rays \(a\) and \(c\) lie on one line. Also, \(\beta + \gamma = \beta + \alpha = 180^\circ\), so rays \(b\) and \(d\) are opposite rays and lie on another line. 5. Therefore, the four rays form two intersecting lines.

The angle sum gives \(2(\alpha + \beta) = 360^\circ\), so \(\alpha + \beta = 180^\circ\). Thus, rays \(a\) and \(c\) are opposite rays. Since \(\beta + \gamma = \beta + \alpha = 180^\circ\), rays \(b\) and \(d\) are also opposite rays. Therefore, the four rays form two intersecting lines.

1. In a), the two consecutive interior angles measure \(68^\circ\) and \(110^\circ\). Their sum is \(68^\circ + 110^\circ = 178^\circ\), not \(180^\circ\), so the quadrilateral cannot be a parallelogram. 2. In b), a pair of opposite angles both measure \(80^\circ\). This is consistent with the angle properties of a parallelogram, so the quadrilateral could be a parallelogram. 3. In c), the interior angle adjacent to the \(105^\circ\) exterior angle measures \(180^\circ - 105^\circ = 75^\circ\). Its opposite angle measures \(73^\circ\). Since opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent and \(75^\circ \ne 73^\circ\), the quadrilateral cannot be a parallelogram.

a) It cannot be a parallelogram because \(68^\circ + 110^\circ = 178^\circ\), not \(180^\circ\). b) It could be a parallelogram because the marked opposite angles are congruent. c) It cannot be a parallelogram because the opposite interior angles measure \(75^\circ\) and \(73^\circ\).

- Which adjacent angles form a straight angle? - What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle? - Which opposite angles are congruent when two lines intersect? - Find the missing angle in the left triangle before working with the right triangle.

1. The \(75^\circ\) angle and \(\alpha\) form a linear pair, so \(\alpha = 180^\circ - 75^\circ = 105^\circ\). 2. The interior angles of triangle \(ABS\) total \(180^\circ\). Therefore, \(\beta = 180^\circ - 75^\circ - 65^\circ = 40^\circ\). 3. The angles \(\angle ASB\) and \(\angle CSD\) are vertical angles, so \(\angle CSD = \beta = 40^\circ\). 4. The interior angles of triangle \(CDS\) total \(180^\circ\). Therefore, \(\gamma = 180^\circ - 40^\circ - 50^\circ = 90^\circ\).

\(\alpha = 105^\circ\), \(\beta = 40^\circ\), and \(\gamma = 90^\circ\)

- Consider a line through the vertex of \(\alpha\) parallel to \(g\) and \(h\). - How does that line split \(\alpha\) into two smaller angles? - Which alternate interior angle relationships can you use?

1. Consider an auxiliary line through the vertex of \(\alpha\) parallel to \(g\) and \(h\). 2. This line divides \(\alpha\) into two angles, so \(\alpha = \alpha_1 + \alpha_2\). 3. By alternate interior angle relationships, \(\alpha_1 = 35^\circ\) and \(\alpha_2 = 40^\circ\). 4. Therefore, \(\alpha = 35^\circ + 40^\circ = 75^\circ\).

\(\alpha = 75^\circ\)

- What is true about vertical angles and about adjacent angles that form a straight line? - Consider each triangle separately. What is the sum of its interior angles? - How can the angles at \(S\) connect the two triangles? - Look for angles that form a linear pair.

1. The given \(110^\circ\) angle and the interior angle of the left triangle at \(S\) form a linear pair. That interior angle is \(180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ\). 2. In the left triangle, \(\alpha = 180^\circ - 45^\circ - 70^\circ = 65^\circ\). 3. The interior angles at \(S\) in the two triangles are vertical angles, so the angle at \(S\) in the right triangle is also \(70^\circ\). 4. In the right triangle, \(\beta = 180^\circ - 70^\circ - 45^\circ = 65^\circ\). 5. The \(45^\circ\) angle and \(\gamma\) form a linear pair, so \(\gamma = 180^\circ - 45^\circ = 135^\circ\).

\(\alpha = 65^\circ\), \(\beta = 65^\circ\), and \(\gamma = 135^\circ\)

- Which angles are opposite each other when two lines intersect? - Which groups of adjacent angles form a straight angle? - Start with the two given measures and use vertical angles to find their opposites. - Check that all six angles sum to \(360^\circ\).

1. Claim 1 is true because \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), and \(\gamma\) form a straight angle. 2. Claim 2 is false. Angle \(\delta\) is vertical to \(\alpha\), so \(\delta = 60^\circ\), while \(\beta = 65^\circ\). 3. Claim 3 is true because \(\gamma\) and \(\varphi\) are vertical angles. 4. Claim 4 is true. Vertical angles give \(\delta = \alpha = 60^\circ\) and \(\varepsilon = \beta = 65^\circ\), so \(60^\circ + 65^\circ + 60^\circ + 65^\circ = 250^\circ\). 5. Since \(\alpha + \beta + \gamma = 180^\circ\), \(\gamma = 180^\circ - 60^\circ - 65^\circ = 55^\circ\). The vertical angle pairs then give \(\delta = 60^\circ\), \(\varepsilon = 65^\circ\), and \(\varphi = 55^\circ\).

a) Claims 1, 3, and 4 are true. Claim 2 is false. b) \(\alpha = 60^\circ\), \(\beta = 65^\circ\), \(\gamma = 55^\circ\), \(\delta = 60^\circ\), \(\varepsilon = 65^\circ\), and \(\varphi = 55^\circ\).

- Which triangles can you identify in the diagram? - What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle? - What angle relationships occur where two lines intersect? - What is the sum of adjacent angles that form a straight line? - Which unknown can you find first using one triangle?

1. In the large triangle, \(\alpha = 180^\circ - 60^\circ - 55^\circ = 65^\circ\). 2. In the upper small triangle, the angle adjacent to the given \(135^\circ\) angle is \(180^\circ - 135^\circ = 45^\circ\). 3. Therefore, \(\beta = 180^\circ - 55^\circ - 45^\circ = 80^\circ\). 4. Angles \(\beta\) and \(\gamma\) form a linear pair, so \(\gamma = 180^\circ - 80^\circ = 100^\circ\).

\(\alpha = 65^\circ\), \(\beta = 80^\circ\), and \(\gamma = 100^\circ\)

- Consider an auxiliary line through vertex \(V\) parallel to \(g\) and \(h\). - Which corresponding, alternate interior, or supplementary angle relationships can you use? - How does the auxiliary line divide the unknown angle into two smaller angles?

1. Consider an auxiliary line through vertex \(V\) parallel to \(g\) and \(h\). This divides \(\gamma\) into two smaller angles. 2. The lower part is alternate interior to the given \(50^\circ\) angle, so it measures \(50^\circ\). 3. The supplement of the given \(120^\circ\) angle is \(60^\circ\). The upper part is alternate interior to this \(60^\circ\) angle. 4. Therefore, \(\gamma = 50^\circ + 60^\circ = 110^\circ\).

\(\gamma = 110^\circ\)
