Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 56 + 81 = 137
2. The exterior angle theorem means that the 2 angles within a triangle that is on the opposite side of the angle outside the triangle could be added to find the angle that is outside of the triangle.
3. 56 and 81 are on the opposite side of the "x" outside the triangle which means that they could be added together which equals 137 degrees.
Hope this helps!
Do you have a photo of the diagram ?
Answer:
x = 21°
y = 29°
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Solving for x
Note that:
(3x - 3)° and 60° are Alternate interior angles, and alternate interior angles are equal to each other, hence:
3x - 3 = 60° (Alternate interior angles)
Add 3 to both sides
3x - 3 +3 = 60 + 3
3x = 63°
x = 63°/3
x = 21°
b) Solving for y
Notes that:
(3x - 3)° and (4y + 4)° are Consecutive interior angles and the sum consecutive interior angles is 180°
3x - 3 + 4y + 4 = 180°
3x + 4y - 3 + 4 = 180°
3x + 4y + 1 = 180°
Note that x = 21
Hence
3(21) + 4y + 1 = 180°
63 + 1 + 4y = 180°
64 + 4y = 180°
Subtract 64 from both sides
64 - 64 + 4y = 180° - 64
4y = 116°
y = 116/4
y => 29°
all of those r correct :)
