Question

Please solve the following questions!!

Answer 1

Answer:

3. The missing angle is 56°

4. x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

3.

We know sum of 3 angles in a triangle is 180°.

Looking at the top triangle, we can figure out the third angle. Let third angle be x:

85 + 35 + x = 180

120 + x = 180

x = 180 - 120

x = 60

The angle "x" and the angle that is missing from the "bottom" triangle in the figure, are vertical angles, and hence, are EQUAL.

So the bottom triangle now has 2 angles, 60 and 64 (given). Let the third angle be y(the one with a question mark). So we can write:

60 + 64 + y = 180

124 + y = 180

y = 180 - 124

y= 56

This is the missing angle.

4.

10x - 5 AND 8x + 9 are vertical angles. They ARE EQUAL.

Thus we can write the equation:

(10x-5) =  (8x+9)

10x-8x=9+5

2x=14

x=14/2

x=7

So x = 7
