How can you use the Angle Addition Postulate?
75^(∘)
Let's draw a simplified version of the map where the streets are replaced by rays. We name the rays by the first letter of the street names.
Park Road intersects Sydney Street at an angle of 87^(∘) and Malcom Way intersects Park Road at an unknown angle, x. Let's mark this on our map.
By using the Angle Addition Postulate, we can find x. 87^(∘) + x = 162^(∘) ⇒ x=75^(∘) The angle with which Park Road intersects Malcom Way is 75^(∘).
