Question

What’s the Value for k?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles on a straight line is 180 degrees. Therefore,

Angle XYZ + angle MYZ = 180

Angle XYZ + 115 = 180

Angle XYZ = 180 - 115 = 65 degrees

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. It means that

Angle XZY + angle YXZ + angle MYZ = 180

Therefore,

4k + 5 + 6k + 10 + 65 = 180

4k + 6k + 5 + 10 + 65 = 180

10k + 80 = 180

10k = 180 - 80 = 100

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 10, it becomes

10k/10 = 100/10

k = 10
