Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
the third angle of the inner triangle is defined by using the rule that the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180 degrees. let's call this angle a
180 = 48 + 16x + a
132 - 16x = a
and then we know that both angles, 28x and a together must also be 180, as they are complementing each other to cover the whole top of the base line.
so,
28x + 132 - 16x = 180
12x = 48
x = 4
Answer:
P = 49°
R = 131°
Q = 114°
S = 66°
Step-by-step explanation:
in a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, the opposite angles are always supplementary, meaning they add up to 150
we are given opposite angles P and R (S is not given so we can't use Q and S)
P+R = 180
5y+14 + 15y + 26 = 180
20y + 40 = 180
20y = 140
y = 7
so...
P = 5(7) + 14 = 35 + 14 = 49
R = 180-49 (since opposite angles in inscribed quadrilaterals are supplementary) = 131
Q = (7)^2 + 65 = 49 + 65 = 114
S = 180-114 = 66
Terminating because the decimal ends rather than going on forever which would be repeating
