BD bisects ZABC. Solve for x and find mABC. m/ABD = 11x - 10, m/CBD = 8x + 2
1 answer:
The value of x is 4 and the value of ∠ABC is 68°.
To solve this problem we first have to understand the concept of an angle bisector. Angle bisector is a straight line passes through the vertex of an angle dividing the angle in two equal angles.
According to the condition BD bisects ∠ABC
Therefore the two angles formed by the angle bisector are ∠ABD and ∠CBD.
The angle value of these two angles are equal.
Given:
m∠ABD=11x-10
m∠CBD=8x+2
Therefore from the above condition:
m∠ABD=m∠CBD
Substituting the values we get:
11x-10=8x+2
Solving the linear equation to find the value of x.
Now let us find the value of ∠ABC
m∠ABC=m∠ABD+m∠CBD
or,∠ABC=11x-10+8x+2
or,∠ABC=19x-8
Substituting the value x=4 in the equation we get:
m∠ABC=19×4-8
or,m∠ABC=68°
Therefore we can conclude that the value of xis 4 and the value of ∠ABC is 68°.

For this question, we can use the same side interior angle theorem.
Angles 1 and 2 are same side interior angles, which means that they are the interior angles on the same side.
To find the angle measure of the angles, we can plug in the value we have.
To find if the oars are parallel, we can use the same side interior angle theorem, which states that if the same side interior angles are supplementary, the lines are parallel.
Seeing as the angles are supplementary, the oars are parallel to each other.
Hope this helps.
