8.
- ∠a & ∠b are complementary. if the m∠a = (6x + 40)° and the m∠b = (4x + 30)°, solve for x and the two angles.
- for the given diagram, place the measures of angles a, b, c appropriately on the number line, according to location of x.
Problem 7:
Step1: Identify angle relationship
The two angles are vertical angles, so they are equal. Thus, \(2x + 15 = x + 30\).
Step2: Solve for \(x\)
Subtract \(x\) from both sides: \(2x - x + 15 = 30\) → \(x + 15 = 30\). Then subtract 15: \(x = 30 - 15 = 15\).
Step3: Find angle measures
Substitute \(x = 15\) into \(2x + 15\): \(2(15)+15 = 30 + 15 = 45^\circ\). For \(x + 30\): \(15 + 30 = 45^\circ\) (both angles are equal, as expected for vertical angles).
Step1: Identify angle relationship
The two angles form a linear pair, so their sum is \(180^\circ\). Thus, \((2x + 3)+(x - 6)=180\).
Step2: Solve for \(x\)
Combine like terms: \(2x + x + 3 - 6 = 180\) → \(3x - 3 = 180\). Add 3 to both sides: \(3x = 183\). Divide by 3: \(x = 61\).
Step3: Find angle measures
Substitute \(x = 61\) into \(2x + 3\): \(2(61)+3 = 122 + 3 = 125^\circ\). For \(x - 6\): \(61 - 6 = 55^\circ\). Check: \(125 + 55 = 180^\circ\) (correct for a linear pair).
Step1: Recall complementary angles
Complementary angles sum to \(90^\circ\), so \(m\angle A + m\angle B = 90^\circ\). Substitute the given expressions: \((6x + 40)+(4x + 30)=90\).
Step2: Solve for \(x\)
Combine like terms: \(6x + 4x + 40 + 30 = 90\) → \(10x + 70 = 90\). Subtract 70: \(10x = 20\). Divide by 10: \(x = 2\).
Step3: Find angle measures
Substitute \(x = 2\) into \(m\angle A\): \(6(2)+40 = 12 + 40 = 52^\circ\). For \(m\angle B\): \(4(2)+30 = 8 + 30 = 38^\circ\). Check: \(52 + 38 = 90^\circ\) (correct for complementary angles).
