Question

  1. angles a and b are adjacent angles and are supplementary. the measure of ∠a is (3x + 10)°, and the measure of ∠b is (12x + 35)°.

a. write an equation that can be used to determine the value of x.

b. what is the value of x?

c. what is the measure of ∠a?

  1. describe ∠coa in relation to ∠dob.
  1. attend to precision ∠a is complementary to ∠b. the measure of ∠a is (8x + 12)°. the measure of ∠b is half the measure of ∠a. write an equation that can be used to determine the value of x. then solve for x.

for problems 6–7, use figure 4.

  1. describe the relationship between ∠boc and ∠cod. what is the sum of their angle measures?
  1. describe the relationship between ∠aob and ∠cod. are their measures equal?

Explanation:

Problem 3
Part A

Step1: Recall supplementary angles

Supplementary angles sum to \(180^\circ\). So, \(\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ\).

Step2: Substitute angle measures

Substitute \(\angle A=(3x + 10)^\circ\) and \(\angle B=(12x + 35)^\circ\) into the equation: \((3x + 10)+(12x + 35)=180\).

Step1: Simplify the equation

Combine like terms: \(3x+12x + 10 + 35=180\) → \(15x+45 = 180\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract 45 from both sides: \(15x=180 - 45=135\). Divide by 15: \(x=\frac{135}{15}=9\).

Step1: Substitute \(x = 9\) into \(\angle A\)'s formula

\(\angle A=(3x + 10)^\circ\). Substitute \(x = 9\): \(3(9)+10=27 + 10=37\).

Answer:

\((3x + 10)+(12x + 35)=180\)
