Answer:

AB is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the segment addition postulate, AC = AB+BC.

We know that BD=BC, BD=5x-26 and BC=2x+1. So set up an equation to find the value of x:

5x-26=2x+1

Subtract 2x from each side:

5x-26-2x = 2x+1-2x

3x-26 = 1

Add 26 to each side:

3x-26+26 = 1+26

3x=27

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 27/3

x = 9

This means that BC = 2x+1 = 2(9)+1 = 18+1 = 19.

We know that AC = AB+BC; using our given information as well as the value of BC we just found, we have

43 = AB+19

Subtract 19 from each side:

43-19 = AB+19-19

24 = AB

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ 4 , ∠ 5 , ∠ 6 are exterior angles of the triangle

-------------------------------------------

(14)

∠ 1 and ∠ 4 are adjacent angles and sum to 180° , then

∠ 1 = 180° - 58° = 122°

∠ 2 + ∠ 3 = ∠ 4

∠ 2 + 32° = 58° ( subtract 32° from both sides )

∠ 2 = 26°

∠ 5 = ∠ 1 + ∠ 3 = 122° + 32° = 154°

∠ 6 = ∠ 1 + ∠ 2 = 122° + 26° = 148°

(15)

∠ 4 = ∠ 2 + ∠ 3 = 11° + 143° = 154°

∠ 1 = 180° - ∠ 4 = 180° - 154° = 26°

∠ 5 = ∠ 1 + ∠ 3 = 26° + 143° = 169°

∠ 6 = ∠ 1 + ∠ 2 = 26° + 11° = 37°
