Let's begin by making a rough sketch of the map, highlighting the red streets.
Since all of the streets are , we can identify some . Let's look for linear pairs one street at a time.
Street NQ
Following street
NQ, we can find three pairs.
∠NMK∠MOP∠MORand∠KMOand∠POQand∠ROQ
Linear pairs are , so the sum of each pair will be
180∘. We can subtract the known values from
180 to find the missing values.
m∠NMK=m∠POQ=m∠MOR= 180∘−55∘=125∘ 180∘−47∘=133∘ 180∘−47∘=133∘
Streets JL and GI
Following along streets
JL and
GI, we find two more linear pairs.
∠HKL∠GHKand∠HKJand∠IHK
Both
∠HKL and
∠GHK are , so their supplements are also right angles. Let's mark the angles that we have found.
Street MF
Now, along street
MF, we can find another four linear pairs.
∠MKL∠KHI∠FHG∠HKJand∠HKLand∠IHFand∠GHKand∠JKM
These angles are all
90∘ because the supplement to a right angle is also a right angle, similar to the previous two streets.
Street AD
Street
AD is a straight angle, so the sum of
m∠AEB, m∠BEC, and
m∠CED is
180∘.
m∠AEB+m∠BEC+m∠CED=180∘
37∘+m∠BEC+55∘=180∘
37∘+m∠BEC=125∘
m∠BEC=88∘
Finding the Congruent Angles
Now that we found the measures of the angles in the map, we can figure out which ones are . There's a cluster of right angles along
MF. Since they are all
90∘, they are all congruent.
∠MKJ≅∠MKL≅∠LKH≅∠JKH≅∠KHI≅∠IHF≅∠FHG≅∠GHK
Next, let's look at the angles around point
O.
Two angles measure 133∘ and two angles measure 47∘. Each pair of these angles are congruent. Therefore, ∠MOR≅∠POQ and ∠MOP≅∠QOR.
Looking to the north of the map, we can see that two angles measure 55∘, ∠KMO and ∠DEC. They are also congruent. There are no more congruent angles that are directly shown on our map. However, look at ∠AEB and ∠BEC. The sum of their measures is 37∘+88∘=125∘. Therefore, ∠AEC and ∠NMK are congruent too!
