Focus on the top line angles for now.
Those two angles combine to the straight angle ABC, which is 180 degrees.
(angleABY) + (angleYBC) = angle ABC
(x+25)+(2x+50) = 180
(x+2x) + (25+50) = 180
3x+75 = 180
3x = 180-75
3x = 105
x = 105/3
x = 35
We'll use this x value to find that:
- angle YBC = 2x+50 = 2*35+50 = 70+50 = 120 degrees
- angle BEF = 5x-55 = 5*35-55 = 175-55 = 120 degrees
Angles YBC and BEF are corresponding angles (they are both in the northeast corner of their respective four-corner angle configuration). They are both 120 degrees. Since we have congruent corresponding angles, we have effectively proven that AC is parallel to DF. Refer to the converse of the corresponding angles theorem.
The regular version of the "corresponding angles theorem" says that if two lines are parallel, then the corresponding angles are congruent. The converse reverses the logic of the conditional statement. Meaning that if the corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
0.0000079 is your answer, I believe.
Answer:
112 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the value of x, you need to add both the numbers 34 and 78 to find x.
