Answer:
m∠P = 82°
m∠Q = 49°
m∠R = 49°
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>In the isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal in measures</em>
In Δ PQR
∵ PQ = PR
∴ Δ PQR is an isosceles triangle
∵ ∠Q and ∠R are the base angles
→ By using the fact above
∴ m∠Q = m∠R
∵ m∠Q = (3x + 25)°
∵ m∠R = (2x + 33)°
→ Equate them
∴ 3x + 25 = 2x + 33
→ Subtract 2x from both sides
∵ 3x - 2x + 25 = 2x - 2x + 33
∴ x + 25 = 33
→ Subtract 25 from both sides
∵ x + 25 - 25 = 33 - 25
∴ x = 8
→ Substitute the value of x in the measures of angles Q and R
∵ m∠Q = 3(8) + 25 = 24 + 25
∴ m∠Q = 49°
∵ m∠R = 2(8) + 33 = 16 + 33
∴ m∠R = 49°
∵ The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a Δ is 180°
∴ m∠P + m∠Q + m∠R = 180°
→ Substitute the measures of angles Q and R
∵ m∠P + 49 + 49 = 180
∴ m∠P + 98 = 180
→ Subtract 98 from both sides
∵ m∠P + 98 - 98 = 180 - 98
∴ m∠P = 82°
Answer:
1. a. Q° = 95°
b. a = 20.3; b = 19.3
2. p = 36; q = 14.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
Recall: The Exterior Angle Theorem of a Triangle states that the size of the exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the two sizes of the two opposite angles of the triangle.
a. Based on the theorem,
Q° = 41° + 54° = 95°
b.
✔️122° = 4a + 2a (exterior angle theorem)
122 = 6a
Divide both sides by 6
122/6 = a
a = 20.3
✔️122° + 3b = 180° (angles on a straight line)
3b = 180 - 122
3b = 58
b = 58/3
b = 19.3
Question 2:
Recall: Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal while adjacent/consecutive angles are supplementary.
✔️2p + 3p = 180° (adjacent angles)
5p = 180
p = 180/5
p = 36
✔️2p = 5q (opposite angles)
Plug in the value of p
2(36) = 5q
72 = 5q
72/5 = q
q = 14.4
He starts on the 1st floor. He then goes up 18 floors:
1 + 18 = 19
He took the stairwell down 3 floors
19 - 3 = 16
He then takes the elevator down 8 floors
16 - 8 = 8
He then takes the stairwell up 5 floors for his afternoon meeting
8 + 5 = 13
