5/2/2019 Adding Angles When you want to add angles, use the notation m1, meaning the measure of 1. If you add m1 + m2, what is your result? m1 + m2 = 58. m1 + m2 = mADC also. Therefore, mADC = 58. Lesson 1-4: Angles
Angle Addition Postulate 5/2/2019 Angle Addition Postulate Postulate: The sum of the two smaller angles will always equal the measure of the larger angle. Complete: m ____ + m ____ = m _____ MRK KRW MRW Lesson 1-4: Angles
Example: Angle Addition 5/2/2019 Example: Angle Addition K is interior to MRW, m MRK = (3x), m KRW = (x + 6) and mMRW = 90º. Find mMRK. First, draw it! MRK + KRW = MRW 3x + x + 6 = 90 4x + 6 = 90 – 6 = –6 4x = 84 x = 21 3x x+6 Are we done? mMRK = 3x = 3•21 = 63º Lesson 1-4: Angles
