Given
R is the interior of ∠ TUV.
m∠ RUV=30degrees, m∠ TUV=3x+16, and m∠ TUR=x+10.
Find the value of x and the m ∠TUV.
To proof
As given in the question
m ∠TUV=3x+16, and m ∠TUR=x+10
thus
m∠ RUV = m∠ TUV - m∠ TUR
= 3x + 16 - x -10
= 2x + 6
As given
m ∠RUV=30°
compare both the values
we get
30 = 2x + 6
24 = 2x
12 = x
put this value in the m ∠TUV= 3x+16
m ∠TUV= 12× 3 +16
= 52°
Hence proved
Length: 2w + 59
width: w
diagonal: (2w + 59) + 2 = 2w + 61
Length² + width² = diagonal²
(2w + 59)² + (w)² = (2w + 61)²
(4w² + 118w + 3481) + w² = 4w² + 122w + 3721
5w² + 118w + 3481 = 4w² + 122w + 3721
w² + 118w + 3481 = 122w + 3721
w² - 4w + 3481 = 3721
w² - 4w - 240 = 0
a = 1, b = -4, c = -240

since width cannot be negative, disregard 1 - 2√61
w = 1 + 2√61 ≈ 16.62
Length: 2w + 59 = 2(1 + 2√61) + 59 = 2 + 4√61 + 59 = 61 + 4√61 ≈ 92.24
Answer: width = 16.62 in, length = 92.24 in
