Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a triangle with vertices as D G O. Angle G at the bottom left is right angled. Angle O at the bottom right is 41 degrees. The line D O forms the hypotenuse.

Find the measure of the angle on point D .

1 answer

The measure of angle D in triangle DGO can be found by subtracting the measures of angles G and O from 180 degrees, since the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Angle G is a right angle, which means it measures 90 degrees.

Angle O is given as 41 degrees.

Therefore, the measure of angle D can be calculated as:

180 degrees - 90 degrees - 41 degrees = 49 degrees.

So, the measure of angle D is 49 degrees.
