Distinct angles are when the angles of a polygon are all different.
X = 10
The triangles are similar by SAS, so we can set up a proportion of their sides.
9/(33-9) = 12/(3x+2)
9/24 = 12/3x+2
Reduce
3/8 = 12/3x+2
Cross multiply
3(3x+2) = 12*8
Distribute and multiply
9x + 6 = 96
Subtract 6
9x = 90
Divide by 9
x = 10
Check:
9/24 = 12/3x+2
9/24 = 12/3*10 + 2
9/24 = 12/30 + 2
9/24 = 12/32
3/8 = 3/8 :)
Answer:
z = 61
Step-by-step explanation:
The exterior angle is congruent (equal to) the sum of the 2 farthest angles from it, so you can set the equation like this:
z + z - 11 = z + 50
Add like terms, which would be the 2 "z's" on the left side:
2z - 11 = z + 50
Then subtract the z on the right side from both sides:
2z - 11 = z + 50
-z -z
___________
z - 11 = 50
Add 11 to both sides:
z - 11 = 50
+ 11 +11
________
z = 61
