Exploring the Angle Addition Postulate with Algebra

The video tutorial covers exercises on using the angle addition postulate to find unknown angles. In Exercise 24, the focus is on finding the measure of angle NPM using adjacent angles and the concept of a straight angle. Exercise 25 introduces algebraic expressions to solve for angle WXZ, emphasizing substitution and simplification. The final exercise involves substituting values to determine angle FJG, reinforcing the use of algebra in geometry.
