7. θ=108.8

9. α=29

11. β=77

13. α=12

15. θ=65

17. θ=22

19. ψ=73

21. ϕ=88

23.

a ϕ=120

b ϕ=160

c ϕ=α+β

d An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

25. θ=72,ϕ=54

27. θ=100,ϕ=30

29.

a 180

b 90

c a right triangle

31.

a 180

b 90

c a right triangle

33. α=30,β=60

35. x=47,y=133

37. x=60,y=15

39. x=25,y=16

41. x=90,y=55

43. x=50,y=80

45.

a 1=4,3=5

b 180

c In the equation 4+2+5=180, substitute 1 for 4, and substitute 3 for 5 to conclude that the sum of the angles in the triangle is 180.

47. 1=130 because vertical angles are equal. 2=50 because it makes a straight angle with a 130 angle. 3=65 because it is a base angle of an isosceles triangle whose vertex angle is 50. 41=65 for the same reason. 5=25 because it is complementary to 4.
