Inductive reasoning

But, inductive reasoning is the process of arriving at a conclusion based on a set of observations. In itself, it is not a valid method of proof eg ...For example, a conclusion that all swans are white is false, but may have been thought true in Europe until the settlement of Australia, when Black Swans were discovered......

Solve for X then find the measure of DEF. Write your answers in decimal form.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Since EF bisects ∠DEF, we know that EF splits ∠DEF in 2 halves from the word 'bisects', which can be written as 'bi- sects' , where bi means 2 and sects means sections

Hence, ∠DEG = ∠GEF --------------(1)

We are given the measure of these angles:

∠DEG = 3x - 4

∠GEF = x + 13

Now, replacing the values in (1):

3x - 4 = x + 13

2x = 17

x = 17/2

Now, finding the measure of ∠DEF:

∠DEF = ∠DEG + ∠GEF

∠DEF = 3x - 4 + x + 13

∠DEF = (51 / 2) - 4 + (17/2) + 13                      (x = 17/2)

∠DEF = 34 - 4 + 13

∠DEF = 43°
