Answer:
???????
Step-by-step explanation:
triangles add to 180 degrees
lets call the unknown angle y
82 + x + y = 180
we also know that y + (2x-20 ) = 180 because it is a straight line
lets solve this for y
y + (2x-20 ) = 180
subtract (2x-20) from each side
y = 180 - (2x-20)
y = 180 - 2x + 20
y = 200 -2x
substitute this in the triangle equation
82 + x + y = 180
82 + x + 200 -2x = 180
combine like terms
282 -x = 180
subtract 282 from each side
-x = -102
multiply by -1 on each side
x = 102
the exterior angle is 2x-20
exterior angle is 2(102) -20
exterior angle is 204-20
exterior angle is 184
This is impossible.
There is a mistake with this problem
The triangle is not a triangle. Angle y would be negative. y=-4
Create a proportion:
1 in/15 mi= x in/25 mi
15x=25
X is approximately 1.67 in
It would be Answer A) x>6
