1. Problem:
Jane is three times as old as her son. The sum of their ages is 40. How old
is each?
Solution:
Let (J) be Jane's age and (S) be her son's age.
- Given: (J = 3S) (Jane is three times as old as her son)
- Given: (J + S = 40) (The sum of their ages is 40)

Substitute the expression for (J) from the first equation into the second
equation:
[3S + S = 40]
Combine like terms:
[4S = 40]
Divide by 4:
[S = 10]
Now, substitute the value of (S) back into the first equation:
[J = 3 times 10 = 30]
Answer:
Jane is 30 years old, and her son is 10 years old.

- Given: (A + B + C = 180) (The sum of the angles is 180 degrees)
- Given: (A = 30°)
- Given: (B = 60°)
Explanation:
Substitute the values of (A) and (B) into the first equation:
[30 + 60 + C = 180]

[90 + C = 180]
Subtract 90 from both sides:
[C = 90]
Answer:
The measure of the third angle is (90°).

A right-angled triangle has one leg that is 5 units longer than the other leg.
If the hypotenuse is 13 units, find the lengths of the legs.
**Solution:**
Let (a) and (b) be the lengths of the legs.
- Given: One leg is 5 units longer than the other: (a = b + 5).
- Given: The hypotenuse is 13 units: (c = 13).
**Explanation:**
Use the Pythagorean Theorem: (a°2 + b°2 = c°2).
[(b + 5)°2 + b°2 = 13°2]
Expand and simplify:
[b°2 + 10b + 25 + b°2 = 169]
Combine like terms:
[2b°2 + 10b + 25 = 169]
Subtract 169 from both sides:
[2b°2 + 10b - 144 = 0]
Factor the quadratic:
[(b + 12)(2b - 12) = 0]
**Answer:**
The lengths of the legs are 12 units and 17 units.

1. **Question:**
In a right-angled triangle, if one acute angle is 30 degrees, what is the
measure of the other acute angle?
**Explanation:**
In a right-angled triangle, the sum of the measures of the two acute angles
is always 90 degrees. So, if one angle is 30 degrees, the other acute angle is
found by subtracting from 90 degrees: 90 degrees - 30 degrees = 60 degrees.
This is because the two angles are complementary.
**Answer:**
The measure of the other acute angle is 60 degrees.
2. **Question:**
If the sum of two angles in a triangle is 90 degrees, what can you say about
the third angle?
Intellectual Property of PLT MARK ANTHONY C ARMEA
NOT FOR SALE
“Manifest first in your mind then it all shall be done”
**Explanation:**
The sum of angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. If two angles add up
to 90 degrees, the third angle is found by subtracting 90 degrees from 180
degrees: 180 degrees - 90 degrees = 90 degrees. Therefore, the third angle is
a right angle.
**Answer:**
The third angle is a right angle, measuring 90 degrees.
3. **Question:**
In a right-angled triangle, if the measure of one acute angle is 45 degrees,
what are the measures of the other two angles?
**Explanation:**
Similar to question 1, in a right-angled triangle, the two acute angles are
complementary. So, if one angle is 45 degrees, the other acute angle is 90
degrees - 45 degrees = 45 degrees, and the right angle remains 90 degrees.
**Answer:**
The measures of the other two angles are 45 degrees and 90 degrees.
4. **Question:**
If the exterior angle of a triangle is 120 degrees, what are the measures of
its two remote interior angles?
**Explanation:**
The remote interior angles are supplementary to the exterior angle. So,
each remote interior angle is 180 degrees - 120 degrees = 60 degrees.
**Answer:**
The measures of the two remote interior angles are 60 degrees each.
5. **Question:**
In a right triangle, if one acute angle is 60 degrees, what is the measure of
the other acute angle?
**Explanation:**
Again, in a right-angled triangle, the two acute angles are complementary. If
one angle is 60 degrees, the other acute angle is 90 degrees - 60 degrees =
30 degrees.
**Answer:**
The measure of the other acute angle is 30 degrees.
6. **Question:**
If two angles in a triangle are 40 degrees and 60 degrees, what is the
measure of the third angle?
**Explanation:**
Intellectual Property of PLT MARK ANTHONY C ARMEA
NOT FOR SALE
“Manifest first in your mind then it all shall be done”
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. If two angles are 40 degrees
and 60 degrees, the third angle is found by subtracting the sum of the given
angles from 180 degrees: 180 degrees - 40 degrees - 60 degrees = 80
degrees.
**Answer:**
The measure of the third angle is 80 degrees.
7. **Question:**
In a triangle, if one angle is twice the measure of another angle and the sum
of the three angles is 180 degrees, find the measures of the angles.
**Explanation:**
Let the smaller angle be x, then the larger angle is 2x. The sum of the
angles is x + 2x + (x + 2x) = 180 degrees. Solve for x to find the measures of
the angles.
**Answer:**
The measures of the angles are x, 2x, and 3x.
8. **Question:**
If the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees, what is the
measure of each angle in terms of a variable?
**Explanation:**
A quadrilateral has four angles, and the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is
360 degrees. Express each angle in terms of a variable, e.g., A, B, C, and D.
**Answer:**
The measure of each angle is A, B, C, and D in terms of a variable.

measures of the other three angles?
Parallelogram
**Explanation:**
Opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal, so the adjacent angle is also
120 degrees. The other two angles are supplementary to these, making them
each 180 degrees - 120 degrees = 60 degrees.
**Answer:**
The measures of the other three angles are 120 degrees, 60 degrees, and
60 degrees.

10. **Question:**
If the alternate interior angles formed by a transversal cutting two parallel
lines are equal, and one angle measures 70 degrees, what is the measure of
its corresponding angle?
**Explanation:**
If alternate interior angles are equal, the corresponding angle is also 70
degrees in this case. This is a property of parallel lines cut by a transversal.
**Answer:**
The measure of the corresponding angle is 70 degrees.
