Answer:
angles (W, X, Y) = (77°, 62°, 41°)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>:
ΔWZY
∠W = 2(∠Y) -5°
∠X = ∠Y +21°
<u>Find</u>:
∠X, ∠Y, ∠W
<u>Solution</u>:
Using angle measures in degrees, we have ...
∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180
(∠Y +21) +∠Y + (2(∠Y) -5) = 180
4(∠Y) +16 = 180 . . . . . simplify
∠Y +4 = 45 . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
∠Y = 41 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4
∠W = 2(41) -5 = 77
∠X = 41 +21 = 62
The angle measures of angles (W, X, Y) are (77°, 62°, 41°), respectively.
so since Mrs Jackson used 2/15 of 7/8, the amount she used is simply their product.
X is 65 because 65 is great and should always be the answer
