Ray OBOBOB bisects ∠AOC\angle AOC∠AOC, and ray ODODOD bisects ∠BOC\angle BOC∠BOC. If m∠AOC=156∘m\angle AOC=156^\circm∠AOC=156∘, find m∠BODm\angle BODm∠BOD.
Solution
Correct answer: D
First halve the whole to find m∠BOC=78∘m\angle BOC=78^\circm∠BOC=78∘. Then halve that part.
78∘÷2=39∘78^\circ \div 2 = 39^\circ78∘÷2=39∘
Two nonoverlapping parts fill a 134∘134^\circ134∘ opening. Their measures are (3x+8)∘(3x+8)^\circ(3x+8)∘ and (5x−2)∘(5x-2)^\circ(5x−2)∘. Find the smaller part.
Correct answer: B
Angle addition gives 8x+6=1348x+6=1348x+6=134, so 8x=1288x=1288x=128 and x=16x=16x=16.
3(16)+8=563(16)+8=563(16)+8=56
The other part is 5(16)−2=785(16)-2=785(16)−2=78 degrees, so the smaller is 56∘56^\circ56∘.
A bisector makes angles of (7x−11)∘(7x-11)^\circ(7x−11)∘ and (4x+16)∘(4x+16)^\circ(4x+16)∘. What is the whole opening?
Correct answer: C
Set the parts equal: 7x−11=4x+167x-11=4x+167x−11=4x+16. This gives 3x=273x=273x=27, so x=9x=9x=9. Each part is 52∘52^\circ52∘.
52∘+52∘=104∘52^\circ + 52^\circ = 104^\circ52∘+52∘=104∘
A reflex opening measures 248∘248^\circ248∘. Its other opening is bisected. What is each half of that other opening?
Correct answer: A
First find the other opening: 360∘−248∘=112∘360^\circ-248^\circ=112^\circ360∘−248∘=112∘. Then bisect it.
112∘÷2=56∘112^\circ \div 2 = 56^\circ112∘÷2=56∘
A turn is 712\frac7{12}127 of a full turn. How many additional degrees complete that same full turn?
The turn already made is 712×360∘=210∘\frac7{12}\times360^\circ=210^\circ127×360∘=210∘.
360∘−210∘=150∘360^\circ - 210^\circ = 150^\circ360∘−210∘=150∘
Consecutive nonoverlapping openings AOBAOBAOB, BOCBOCBOC, and CODCODCOD fill a straight angle. Ray OBOBOB bisects ∠AOC\angle AOC∠AOC, and m∠COD=68∘m\angle COD=68^\circm∠COD=68∘. Find m∠BOCm\angle BOCm∠BOC.
Remove the final part from the straight opening to get m∠AOC=112∘m\angle AOC=112^\circm∠AOC=112∘. The bisector splits that opening equally.
A correctly centered protractor has readings 42 and 138 at a ray. The chosen baseline meets zero on the scale reading 138. What is the reflex opening between these rays?
The selected zero gives a smaller opening of 138∘138^\circ138∘. The reflex opening is the rest of the full turn.
360∘−138∘=222∘360^\circ - 138^\circ = 222^\circ360∘−138∘=222∘
Ray OBOBOB lies inside a 170∘170^\circ170∘ opening AOCAOCAOC. The part AOBAOBAOB measures 20 degrees more than BOCBOCBOC. Find m∠AOBm\angle AOBm∠AOB.
Let the smaller part measure xxx degrees. Then x+(x+20)=170x+(x+20)=170x+(x+20)=170, so 2x=1502x=1502x=150 and x=75x=75x=75.
75∘+20∘=95∘75^\circ + 20^\circ = 95^\circ75∘+20∘=95∘
Two angles are congruent. The first measures (6t−4)∘(6t-4)^\circ(6t−4)∘ and the second (2t+48)∘(2t+48)^\circ(2t+48)∘. What type are they?
Equal measures give
6t−4=2t+48.6t-4=2t+48.6t−4=2t+48.
Subtract 2t2t2t and add 4 to get 4t=524t=524t=52, so t=13t=13t=13. Each measure in degrees is
6(13)−4=74.6(13)-4=74.6(13)−4=74.
The measure is greater than zero and less than 90∘90^\circ90∘, so both angles are acute.
Two adjacent nonoverlapping parts of a selected opening have measures a∘a^\circa∘ and (2a+6)∘(2a+6)^\circ(2a+6)∘. The whole is 123∘123^\circ123∘. How much larger is the second part than the first?
Their sum gives 3a+6=1233a+6=1233a+6=123, so a=39a=39a=39. The second part is 84∘84^\circ84∘.
84∘−39∘=45∘84^\circ - 39^\circ = 45^\circ84∘−39∘=45∘
Ray OPOPOP bisects the selected reflex ∠AOB\angle AOB∠AOB of 286∘286^\circ286∘. Ray OQOQOQ lies inside the selected part AOPAOPAOP, with m∠AOQ=61∘m\angle AOQ=61^\circm∠AOQ=61∘. Find m∠QOPm\angle QOPm∠QOP.
The bisector gives m∠AOP=143∘m\angle AOP=143^\circm∠AOP=143∘. Subtract its known part.
143∘−61∘=82∘143^\circ - 61^\circ = 82^\circ143∘−61∘=82∘
Which information establishes that two selected openings are congruent?
Congruent angles are defined to have equal measures.
Exact equality establishes congruence; equal ray drawings, a shared point, or the same broad type does not.
Matching protractor readings alone give evidence limited by measurement precision.
