Hint: the sum of the angles is equal to 180 in a triangle. could you make an equation to use that?
3x+13, 7x+2, and 75 are the three angle values. They will sum up to 180.
Steps:
We set the equation to:
3x+13+7x+2+75=180
We can combine some terms
10x+90=180
Then, we isolate x
10x=90
And we divide by 10
x=9
Great! but we are not done yet. We want the measure of angle A, so we need to plug x back into the equation for angle a
3(9)+13
Multiply
27+13
Add
40
Hello Alondra,
To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the ratios formed by the similar triangles.
Or proportion can be:
x/(x+2) = 10/15
Cross multiply to solve it:
10x + 20 = 15x
20 = 5x
4 = x
The value of x is 4.
I hope this helps,
MrEQ
Answer:
It should be 10 raised to power 2 which is a hundred.
