Question

1. Find the measurement of angle J. 2. (5x - 13) (3x + 17)

Answer 1

Answer:

Q1. x= 18, y=59

Q2. m∠J= 56°

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1. (3x +5)°= y° (base ∠s of isos. △)

y= 3x +5 -----(1)

(3x +5)° +y° +(4x -10)°= 180° (∠ sum of △)

3x +5 +y +4x -10= 180

7x +y -5= 180

7x +y= 180 +5

7x +y= 185 -----(2)

Substitute (1) into (2):

7x +3x +5= 185

10x= 185 -5

10x= 180

x= 180 ÷10

x= 18

Substitute x= 18 into (1):

y= 3(18) +5

y= 59

Q2. (5x -13)°= (3x +17)° (base ∠s of isos. △)

5x -13= 3x +17

5x -3x= 17 +13

2x= 30

x= 30 ÷2

x= 15

∠LKJ

= 3(15) +17

= 62°

∠KLJ= 62° (base ∠s of isos. △)

m∠J

= 180° -62° -62° (∠ sum of △JKL)

= 56°
