I need to find the value of x and the measure of the exterior angle

Mathematics

adell [148]3 years ago

Given:

In a right angle triangle, the measure of exterior angle is (9x+16)^\circ.

The measure of opposite interior angle is (5x-14)^\circ.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Exterior angle theorem: In a triangle the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the measure of sum of two interior angles.

Using exterior angle theorem, we get

(9x+16)^\circ=90^\circ+(5x-14)^\circ

(9x+16)^\circ=(5x+76)^\circ

9x+16=5x+76

Isolate the variable x.

9x-5x=-16+76

4x=60

x=\dfrac{60}{4}

x=15

The value of x is 15. So, the measure of the exterior angle is:

(9x+16)^\circ=(9(15)+16)^\circ

(9x+16)^\circ=(135+16)^\circ

(9x+16)^\circ=151^\circ

Therefore, the value of x is 15 and the measure of the exterior angle is 151 degrees.

Answer:

110 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Because these angles are vertical, 5x+15=8x-42. thus, 15=3x-42, 3x=57, and x=19. 5x+15=5(19) +15=110. So, m<CDE=110 degrees.

SV is a midsegment of △RTU.<br> If TU=y+38 and SV=y–9, what is the value of y?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

y = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

the midsegment SV is half the length of the side TU , that is

y - 9 = \frac{1}{2} (y + 38) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

2y - 18 = y + 38 ( subtract y from both sides )

y - 18 = 38 ( add 18 to both sides )

y = 56
