Problem

The degree measure of angle is
problem
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
Angle-chasing using the small triangles: Use the line below and to the left of the angle to find that the rightmost angle in the small lower-left triangle is . Then use the small lower-left triangle to find that the remaining angle in that triangle is . Use congruent vertical angles to find that the lower angle in the smallest triangle containing is also . Next, use line segment to find that the other angle in the smallest triangle containing is . The small triangle containing has a angle and an angle. The remaining angle must be
Final answer
B
