Question

A) explain how you can write and solve equations to find the measure of each angle

Answer 1

Answer:

A) For line l = (2x + 8°) + (5x - 10°) = 180° ....... (i)

For line k = (3x + 42°) + (x + 34°) = 180° ....... (ii)

B) In line l, two angles are = 60° and 120°

In line k, two angles are =  120° and 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Requirement A

To find the measure of each angle, we have to use equation.

According to the graph, line l and k are parallel, therefore, both are straight angle. We know that a straight angle is equal to 180°. Therefore, line l and k are 180°. As both the line are intersected by line j, the lines are separated by two angles. So, the equation for line l is -

(2x + 8°) + (5x - 10°) = 180° ....... (i)

the equation for line k is -

(3x + 42°) + (x + 34°) = 180° ....... (ii)

Requirement B

For line "l "

By solving the equations, we can measure the angles

(2x + 8°) + (5x - 10°) = 180°

or, 2x + 8° + 5x - 10° = 180°

or, 7x - 2° = 180°

or, 7x = 180° + 2°

or, 7x = 182°

or, x = 182° ÷ 7 [Dividing both the sides by 7]

or, x = 26°

Therefore, 2x + 8° = 2 × 26° + 8° = 52° + 8° = 60°

the other angle is = 5x - 10° = 5 × 26° - 10° = 130° - 10° = 120°

For line "k "

(3x + 42°) + (x + 34°) = 180°

or, 3x + 42° + x + 34° = 180°

or, 4x + 76° = 180°

or, 4x = 180° - 76° [Deducting 76° from the both the sides]

or, 4x = 104°

or, x = 104° ÷ 4

Hence, x = 26°

Therefore, 3x + 42° = 3 × 26° + 42° = 78° + 42° = 120°

The other angle is = x + 34° = 26° + 34° = 60°
