Question 662201: We're stuck on this. Angle c; m angle c equals m angle 1 minus m angle 2. We don't know if there is a formula on figuring this out or how to get this done. It's asking us to construct angles in that description. Please let me know how to do this question. I'm homeschooling my son this year and geometry is not a strong point of mine.

My philosophy is that a teacher who is not
strong in a subject should not be teaching
that subject at all.

Hi,

Apologize, misread the question:

 ∠c = ∠1 - ∠2  0r ∠1 = ∠c + ∠2  

To my knowledge, the idea would be to construct varius examples, that is,

different sizes for angle c and angle 2  and show how that effects the size

of that angle 1.  Might recommend showing angle 1 at 90°(2 & c complementary angles)

 and ∠1 at 180°(c & 2 suplementary angles forming a 'straight line')

One ex below where angle ∠1 < 90°
