Both of these problems will be solved in a similar way, but with different numbers. First, we set up an equation with the values given. Then, we solve. Lastly, we plug into the original expressions to solve for the angles.
[23] ABD = 42°, DBC = 35°
(4x - 2) + (3x + 2) = 77°
4x+ 3x + 2 - 2 = 77°
4x+ 3x= 77°
7x= 77°
x= 11°
-
ABD = (4x - 2) = (4(11°) - 2) = 44° - 2 = 42°
DBC = (3x + 2) = (3(11°) + 2) = 33° + 2 = 35°
[24] ABD = 62°, DBC = 78°
(4x - 8) + (4x + 8) = 140°
4x + 4x + 8 - 8 = 140°
4x + 4x = 140°
8x = 140°
8x = 140°
x = 17.5°
-
ABD = (4x - 8) = (4(17.5°) - 8) = 70° - 8° = 62°
DBC =(4x + 8) = (4(17.5°) + 8) = 70° + 8° = 78°
