If line KM bisects angle JKL, angle JKL = 92 degrees, and angle MKL = (5x+1) degrees, find the value of
1 answer:
The value of the variable x is found to be x = 9.
<h3>What is termed as angle bisector?</h3>- In geometry, an angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal angles.
- A bisector is something that divides a shape or thing into two equal portions.
- An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal components of the same measurement.
A bisected angle divides the two sides in equals.
JKM = LKM
As, both are equal.
Then, each of these angles are 1/2 the angle JKL.
1/2 JKL = MKL
1/2 ×( 92) = 5x + 1
Further simplifying;
46 = 5x+1
Subtract 1 from each side
46-1 = 5x
45 = 5x
Divide each side by 5
45/5 = 5x/5
x = 9
Thus, the value of the unknown variable is found to be x = 9 units.
