This is a polygon and I need help finding the missing angle ?

First, you need to know that the total (degrees) of the interior angles is 360 because this is a quadrilateral.

The unnumbered angle is 109 degrees. We know this because the angle labeled 71 degrees and the unnumbered angle are supplementary. So you subtract 180 from 71 to get 109. 
180-71=109

To solve for x, we need to realize the other numbers playing into the angles' values. To make solving this easier, I'm gonna assign letters to the angles. 

(10x+6) is angle A. 

(13x-2) is angle B. 

(8x-1) is angle C.

and 109 (the one we solved) is angle D. 

We know that the total of the interior angles is 360, so we can add the 2 from angle B and the 1 from angle C to 360. This is because these numbers are subtracted from the other values. 
360+2+1=363

Now, we have to subtract the 6 from angle A from 363, because the 6 is added to the other values. 
363-6=357

Now we have to subtract 109 from 357 because you want to get the x's by themselves. Since you're solving for x. 
357-109=248

That leaves you with 248. Now you add all the x's up to get the total number of x's. You have 10x from angle A, 13x from angle B, and 8x from angle C. 
10x+13x+8x=31x

You get 31x. To get what x is, you divide 248 by 31. 
\frac{248}{31} =8

That equals 8. So now that you know that x equals 8, if you need to find the values of the angles, you just plug in the numbers into the formulas. 

(10(8))+6= 86
(13(8))-2=102
(8(8))-1=63
109

Check your work by plugging your answers in and seeing if they add up to 360. 
86+102+63+109=360

Which they should:)

So...
angle A= 86
angle B=102
angle C=63
angle D=109

and x=8



Hope this helped!!!

Jason wants to cut a rope that is 60 feet long into several equal pieces with nothing left over. How many pieces will he have if
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

2 pieces, 30ft each

Step-by-step explanation:

rope : 60ft long

we are trying to figure out how many equal pieces we can cut the rope into with the length of each piece to be the greatest possible integer:

if jason wants the length of rope to be the longest than the answer is 2, if he divides the length of 60 by 2, each piece will be 30 feet long. If he divides the rope by any number larger, each piece will be shorter than 30 feet, and he wants the piece to be the largest possible length.
