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°.

Given:
'a' and 'b' are the intercepts made by a straight-line with the co- ordinate axes.
3a = b and the line pass through the point (1, 3).
To find:
The equation of the line.
Solution:
The intercept form of a line is
...(i)
where, a is x-intercept and b is y-intercept.
We have, 3a=b.
...(ii)
The line pass through the point (1, 3). So, putting x=1 and y=3, we get
Multiply both sides by a.
The value of a is 2. So, x-intercept is 2.
Putting a=2 in , we get
The value of b is 6. So, y-intercept is 6.
Putting a=2 and b=6 in (i), we get
Therefore, the equation of the required line in intercept form is .
