The sum of the measures of a pair of alternate angles of two parallel lines is 210°. What are the measures of these two angles?

aniked [119]

The answer is 105 and 105 because they did not tell you that one had more than the other, so it's equal. Plus, it could not be 210 or over or 0 or less. It was spilt up equally between both alternate angles, and the lines are parallel, so the angles are equal. So just do 210/2 and get what one of the angles would be. Great question!

Please help me for the love of God if i fail I have to repeat the class

$\theta$ is in quadrant I, so $\cos\theta>0$ .

$x$ is in quadrant II, so $\sin x>0$ .

Recall that for any angle $\alpha$ ,

$\sin^2\alpha+\cos^2\alpha=1$

Then with the conditions determined above, we get

$\cos\theta=\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac45\right)^2}=\dfrac35$

and

$\sin x=\sqrt{1-\left(-\dfrac5{13}\right)^2}=\dfrac{12}{13}$

Now recall the compound angle formulas:

$\sin(\alpha\pm\beta)=\sin\alpha\cos\beta\pm\cos\alpha\sin\beta$

$\cos(\alpha\pm\beta)=\cos\alpha\cos\beta\mp\sin\alpha\sin\beta$

$\sin2\alpha=2\sin\alpha\cos\alpha$

$\cos2\alpha=\cos^2\alpha-\sin^2\alpha$

as well as the definition of tangent:

$\tan\alpha=\dfrac{\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha}$

Then

1. $\sin(\theta+x)=\sin\theta\cos x+\cos\theta\sin x=\dfrac{16}{65}$

2. $\cos(\theta-x)=\cos\theta\cos x+\sin\theta\sin x=\dfrac{33}{65}$

3. $\tan(\theta+x)=\dfrac{\sin(\theta+x)}{\cos(\theta+x)}=-\dfrac{16}{63}$

4. $\sin2\theta=2\sin\theta\cos\theta=\dfrac{24}{25}$

5. $\cos2x=\cos^2x-\sin^2x=-\dfrac{119}{169}$

6. $\tan2\theta=\dfrac{\sin2\theta}{\cos2\theta}=-\dfrac{24}7$

7. A bit more work required here. Recall the half-angle identities:

$\cos^2\dfrac\alpha2=\dfrac{1+\cos\alpha}2$

$\sin^2\dfrac\alpha2=\dfrac{1-\cos\alpha}2$

$\implies\tan^2\dfrac\alpha2=\dfrac{1-\cos\alpha}{1+\cos\alpha}$

Because $x$ is in quadrant II, we know that $\dfrac x2$ is in quadrant I. Specifically, we know $\dfrac\pi2$ , so $\dfrac\pi4$ . In this quadrant, we have $\tan\dfrac x2>0$ , so
