BD bisects <ABC.
m <ABD= 2.5x + 8.6
m<CBD = 3.5x - 3.4
Find m<ABC
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have an angle ABC and a line BD bisecting it.
If an angle is bisected, then the two formed angles are congruent, that is
Substituting the algebraic expressions for both angles:
Subtracting 8.6 and 3.5x:
Operating:
The two angles are:
As expected, both angles have the same measure.
The measure of the total angle ABC is twice any of those:
You can see that the term appears in both equations. In this cases, we can leverage this peculiarity and subtract the two equations to get rid of the repeated term. So, if we subtract the first equation from the second, we have
Now that we know the value of , we can substitute in any of the equation to deduce the value of
: if we use the first equation, for example, we have
