One of the unknown angles (let's called it n) has a complement (meaning their sum adds up to 90 degrees) and the other angle is 8 times the unknown angle (8n)
With all this information, you should have the equation:
n + 8n = 90
To solve, combine like terms to get:
9n = 90
Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate the variable n.
n = 10
Now we plug back in to find our angle measurements. The first angle, n, is 10 degrees. The second angle, 8n, is 8 * 10 which is 80; the second angle is 80 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of angle y is 62°.
I solve this by
We know: Measures of interior angles in a triangle add up to 180°.
Therefore we have the equation:
60° + 58° + y = 180°
118° + y = 180° <em>subtract 118° from both sides</em>
118° - 118° + y = 180° - 118°
y = 62°
The measure of angle x is 122°.
I solve this by
Angles 58° and x are supplementary angles.
Supplementary angles add up to 180°.
Therefore we have the equation:
x + 58° = 180° <em>subtract 58° from both sides</em>
x + 58° - 58° = 180° - 58°
x = 122°
