We can use Triangle Inequality Theorem, the length of the third side of a triangle must always be between (but not equal to) the sum and the difference of the other two sides.
4.1 - 1.3 < x < 4.1 + 1.3
2.8 < x < 5.7
so, the answer is 2.8 < x < 5.7
Take a picture of the table
Start with the parentheses first
4.6 -4.4+7.8 then calculate from left to right
= 0.2+7.8 = 8
Answer:
x = 11º
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Notice Parallel Lines
2. Understand Angle Relationships When Parallel Lines Are Present (e.g., alternate interior/exterior)
3. ∠CAB ≅ ∠DCA ∴ m∠CAB = 33º
4. Use exterior angle theorem: the sum of non-adjacent angles of the same triangle which the exterior angle is drawn is equal to the measure of that angle.
5. Therefore write and solve the equation 2x + 33º (sum of non-adjacent interior angles) = 5x (exterior angle).
- 2x + 33 = 5x (C.L.T or <u>C</u>ombine <u>L</u>ike <u>T</u>erms)
- 3x = 33 (inverse operations; divide by 3)
- x = 11º (remember to apply units)
