The figure shows the measures of various angles of a roof and it supports. Find the measure of angle 1, the angle between an eave and a horizontal support beam.

Answer:
35 degrees.
Explanation:
The figure shown is an isosceles triangle. An isosceles triangle has two of its sides and base angles to be equal.
Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, hence:
110 + (base angles) = 180
110 + (<1 + <1) = 180 (since base angles are the same)
110 + 2<1 = 180
2<1 = 180-110
2<1 = 70
Divide both sides by 2
2<1/2 = 70/2
<1 = 35 degrees
Hence the angle between an eave and the horizontal support beam is 35 degrees.
