Answer:
x=18
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical angles are congruent. This means that they are equal to each other. So, to solve set them equal to each other and isolate x. First, set up the equation. Then, subtract x from both sides. Finally, add 11 to both sides and simplify.

Answer:
For tingle #1
We can find angle C using the triangle sum theorem: the three interior angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees. Since we know the measures of angles A and B, we can find C.
We cannot find any of the sides. Since there is noting to show us size, there is simply just not enough information; we need at least one side to use the rule of sines and find the other ones. Also, since there is nothing showing us size, each side can have more than one value.
For triangle #2
In this one, we can find everything and there is one one value for each.
- We can find side c
Since we have a right triangle, we can find side c using the Pythagorean theorem
- We can find angle C using the cosine trig identity
- Now we can find angle A using the triangle sum theorem
For triangle #3
Again, we can find everything and there is one one value for each.
- We can find angle A using the triangle sum theorem
- We can find side a using the tangent trig identity
- Now we can find side b using the Pythagorean theorem
Let's start with " times a number". We will use
to represent the number.
" less than" is next.
Finally, "is ".
Put it all together to get an expression.
Now, let's solve for the unknown number.
Add on both sides of the equation.
Divide both sides of the equation by to isolate
.
You may notice that all of the terms have a common factor: . So, let's take the
out of all the terms. This gives us:
Using the Zero Product Property, we can say that both and
.
Let's solve both. is obvious, but we still need to solve our other term:
Our answer is x = -6, 0, 4.
