![### Geometry Angle Problems
**Problem Description:**
Given the following angles:
- \( m∠ATB = 20° \)
- \( m∠BTD = 72° \)
- \( m∠CTD = 38° \)
Find the angle \( m∠ATC \).
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows four rays emanating from a common vertex \( T \). These rays are labeled as follows:
- Ray \( TA \)
- Ray \( TB \)
- Ray \( TC \)
- Ray \( TD \)
The points where the angles are formed between these rays are labeled appropriately to show the pairs of adjacent angles:
- Angle \( ATB \) is the angle between rays \( TA \) and \( TB \)
- Angle \( BTD \) is the angle between rays \( TB \) and \( TD \)
- Angle \( CTD \) is the angle between rays \( TC \) and \( TD \)
**Multiple Choice Options:**
The possible angles for \( m∠ATC \) are given as:
- A. \( 34° \)
- B. \( 52° \)
- C. \( 54° \)
- D. \( 58° \)
**Question:**
Calculate the value of \( m∠ATC \) based on the given angles.
**Solution Steps:**
1. Identify and sum up the angles around point \( T \).
2. Given that the sum of angles around a point is \( 360° \):
\[ m∠ATC = 360° - (m∠ATB + m∠BTD + m∠CTD) \]
3. Substitute the given values:
\[ m∠ATC = 360° - (20° + 72° + 38°) \]
4. Perform the calculation:
\[ m∠ATC = 360° - 130° \]
\[ m∠ATC = 230° \]
5. Therefore, \( m∠ATC = 230° \) is obtained. However, since the problem asks for a value within the range of the options provided and defined within the context of angles between rays, reevaluate in terms of the possible interpretation errors. Let's explore reevaluating:
Since calculating around \( T \):
The sum might be interpreted wrongly. Reevaluate it correctly, then directly solve based on](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/c14456c8-c349-46c2-a794-2f6de4965e41/e67d8ddb-28c1-4c39-b0ff-15d3a1a916b4/pxtpwg_thumbnail.png)
