Question

Find the value of x in each case.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 22°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given corner URV = x and because of symmetry of Z-corners, that corner by definition is the same as corner DVR.

So corner SVR = V = x

R = 44°

S = 5x + 4°

V = x

In any triangle the three corners add up to 180°

Combine all this info and you get:

44 + 5x + 4 + x = 180

Solve for x (means write as x =...)

5x + x = 180 - 4 - 44

6x = 132

x = 132/6

x = 22°
