$1^\circ$ Draw an angle $\widehat{xOz}$ measuring $56^\circ$ and a semi-line $[Oy)$ inside this angle such that $\widehat{xOy} = 26^\circ$.

$2^\circ$ Draw the semi-line $[Ou)$, such that the angles $\widehat{xOy}$ and $\widehat{xOu}$ are adjacent and equal.

$3^\circ$ Draw the semi-line $[Ov)$, such that the angles $\widehat{zOy}$ and $\widehat{zOv}$ are adjacent and equal.

Step 1

Hi Matjar., let's solve this geometry problem together by drawing the dynamic angles step by step.

Step 2

First, we draw the angle x O z measuring fifty-six degrees. We'll also place the semi-line O y inside it such that the angle x O y is twenty-six degrees.

x z y O

Step 3

Now let's calculate the measure of the remaining part of the original angle, which is the angle z O y. It is the total fifty-six degrees minus twenty-six degrees, giving us thirty degrees.

$$\widehat{zOy} = \widehat{xOz} - \widehat{xOy}$$
$$\widehat{zOy} = 56^\circ - 26^\circ = 30^\circ$$

Step 4

Next, we draw the semi-line O u such that angles x O y and x O u are adjacent and equal. This means O u is on the opposite side of x relative to y.

Step 5

Since they are adjacent and equal, the angle x O u must also be twenty-six degrees.

$$\widehat{xOu} = \widehat{xOy} = 26^\circ$$

Step 6

Now we draw the semi-line O v such that angles z O y and z O v are adjacent and equal. Here, O v is on the opposite side of z relative to y.
