Hi there! :)
The two angles pictured are vertical angles, therefore:
8x - 6 = 6x + 12
Solve for x by subtracting 6x from both sides:
2x - 6 = 12
Add 6 to both sides:
2x = 18
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 9.
We need to find the percentage of the extra feet that she measured, so first we have to find out how much that is. We can do this by simply subtracting:
4.27 - 4 = 0.27
Now we can set up a proportion to find the percentage.
Solve for x
0.27 x 100 = 27
27/4 = 6.75
The answer is 6.75% :)
