Supplementary angles add up to 180^(∘) and complementary angles add up to 90^(∘).
Supplementary Angles: ∠AFB and ∠BFE, ∠AFC and ∠EFC, ∠AFD and ∠DFE
Complementary Angles: ∠AFB and ∠BFC, ∠CFD and ∠DFE
m∠DFE = 63^(∘)
m∠BFC = 51 ^(∘)
m∠BFE = 141 ^(∘)
Let's think about each of the given tasks one at a time, starting with finding all of the supplementary angles.
Supplementary angles are any two angles whose sum is 180^(∘). Since ∠AFE is 180^(∘), any division of it will create supplementary angles. Using FB as the divider, we get the following scenario.
This means that ∠AFB and ∠BFE are supplementary angles. We can also use FC as a divider.
This means that ∠AFC and ∠EFC are also supplementary angles. Finally, we can divide ∠AFE using FD.
Complementary angles are any two angles whose sum is 90^(∘). Since ∠AFE is a straight angle and ∠CFE is a right angle, ∠AFC is also a right angle measuring 90^(∘).
Any division of either of these will create complementary angles.
Looking at the left-hand side, we can see that ∠AFB and ∠BFC are complementary angles. Similarly, on the right-hand side, ∠CFD and ∠DFE are also complementary angles.
From the diagram, we know that m∠CFD is 27^(∘).
Since ∠CFD and ∠DFE are complementary angles, the sum of their measures is 90^(∘).
m∠CFD= 27^(∘)
LHS-27^(∘)=RHS-27^(∘)
Therefore, m∠DFE is 63^(∘).
We are given that m∠AFB is 39^(∘).
Since ∠AFB and ∠BFC are complementary angles, their measures add up to 90^(∘).
m∠AFB= 39^(∘)
LHS-39^(∘)=RHS-39^(∘)
Hence, m∠BFC is 51^(∘).
Finally, we know that ∠AFB and ∠BFE are supplementary angles.
That means that their measures sum to be 180^(∘).
m∠AFB= 39^(∘)
LHS-39^(∘)=RHS-39^(∘)
Our last angle, m∠BFE, is 141^(∘).
