Answer:
∠4 = 78°, assuming out measurements have been taken in degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
If ∠2 = 8x + 10 and
∠4 = 42 + 6x
We will assume that x in both cases is represented by the same number, therefore, we will first need to solve for x. We will do so by equating both angle measurement expressions.
8x + 10 = 42 + 6x Take away 6x from both sides
2x + 10 = 42 Take 10 away from both sides to combine like terms
2x = 32 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x
x = 16
Knowing x, we can solve for the measure of ∠4 by plugging in 16 for x
∠4 = 42 + 6x
∠4 = 42 + 6(6)
∠4 = 42 + 36
∠4 = 78°, assuming out measurements have been taken in degrees.
