Question

Can somebody help me, please?

Answer 1

Answer:

a.$x=10 \textdegree$

b.

$m\angle L=39\textdegree\\\\m\angle M=51\textdegree\\\\m\angle K=90\textdegree$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We know that angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

-The right angle triangle in the right triangle has a measure of 90°.

We can therefore equate our angles to 180° and solve for x;

$180=\perp\angle+(2x+19)+(3x+21)\\\\180=90+(2x+19)+(3x+21)\\\\90=5x+40\\\\5x=50\\\\x=10\textdegree$

Hence, the angle measure is x=10°

b. Having calculated the value of x from a above as x=10°, we can substitute to find the measures of the two acute angles:

$m\angle L=(2x+19)\textdegree\\\\=(2\times 10+19)\textdegree\\\\=39\textdegree\\\\m\angle M=(3x+21)\textdegree\\\\=(3\times 10+21)\textdegree\\\\=51\textdegree$

Since, the m∠K is a right angle, it measures 90°
