How to do this plastic help
1 answer:
Answer:
39 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
- by seeing the diagram in the attachment, we can see that the angles UWV and VWX are on straight line or, their sum makes 180 degrees.
- we also know that sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
by using the first statement,
UWV + VWX = 180
UWV + 6x-3 = 180
UWV = 180+3-6x
= 183-6x
by using second statement,
UWV+WVU+VUW=180
substituting the values,
183-6x+2x+5+x+13=180
201-3x=180
substracting 180 from both sides,
21=3x
dividing both the sides by 3,
7=x
the angle VWX=6x-3
substituting 7=x,
VWX=6(7)-3= 39.

Answer: 1/8 (Answer A)
For a better understanding of the solution given here please find the attached file which has the relevant diagram.
To answer this question we will have to make use of <u>the Isosceles Triangle Theorem</u> which states that the perpendicular bisector of the base of an isosceles triangle is also the angle bisector of the vertex angle. Thus, as a corollary we know that is EF is the angle bisector of the vertex angle ∠E, then, EF is the perpendicular bisector of the of the base DK.
Please follow the diagram of a complete understanding of the logic and the solution.
As EF is the angle bisector as given in the question, thus we will have:
.
Also, from the Theorem we know that KF will be half of DK and thus, KF will be: centimeters.
Likewise, from the same theorem we have:
