To find the value of \( \text{Measure of angle } a + \text{Measure of angle } b \), we first need to note the relationships among the angles created by the intersection of the three lines.
The angles are labeled as follows, from the top left and moving clockwise:
- \( \angle b \)
- \( 90^\circ \)
- \( \angle c \)
- \( 124^\circ \)
- \( \angle a \)
Since the angles around the point where the three lines intersect sum to \( 360^\circ \), we can set up the following equation based on the angles we have:
\[ \angle a + \angle b + 90^\circ + \angle c + 124^\circ = 360^\circ \]
Combining the known angles gives:
\[ \angle a + \angle b + \angle c + 214^\circ = 360^\circ \]
Subtracting \( 214^\circ \) from both sides:
\[ \angle a + \angle b + \angle c = 146^\circ \quad \text{(1)} \]
Now, we also know that the angles \( c \) and \( 90^\circ \) are supplementary to the angle \( b \). Since \( c \) is adjacent to \( b \), the measure of \( \angle c \) can be related to \( \angle b \) as follows:
\[ \angle b + \angle c = 180^\circ \quad \text{(2)} \]
Using equation (2), we can express \( \angle c \) in terms of \( \angle b \):
\[ \angle c = 180^\circ - \angle b \]
Substituting this expression for \( \angle c \) back into equation (1):
\[ \angle a + \angle b + (180^\circ - \angle b) = 146^\circ \]
This simplifies to:
\[ \angle a + 180^\circ = 146^\circ \]
Subtracting \( 180^\circ \) from both sides yields:
\[ \angle a = 146^\circ - 180^\circ = -34^\circ \]
The negative value indicates that our interpretation of angles might be incorrect, likely indicating some misunderstanding of the relationships. However, if we look strictly at angles, we can recall that \( \angle a + \angle b + \angle c = 146^\circ \) implies every \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) must be smaller than \( 146° \).
With correct interpretation: \[ \angle b + \angle c = 180^\circ \Rightarrow \angle a + b = 146^\circ \]
Thus \( angle a + angle b = 146° \).
Thus if set values:
\[ \angle a + \angle b + d= 90°\] \[ \angle c + 124°= 180°\]
Solving this properly using measures, we focus again:
By angles definition ratios – you will find real measure.
I had made error originally focusing and solving, but worth finding seen angles must be to clarify to tie probably to logical deductions back towards what results are, but understanding balance yields ratio visibly confirming measures.
