Question

class work:
monday 9/8/25
1)
a ---- c ---- b
ac = 6x+2, cb = x+1, ab = 52
x= ____
ac= ____

  1. if e lies between b and c

then ____

  1. if d is in the interior of ∠abe

then ____
diagram: v connected to a, b, c; a on a horizontal line, b on a line from v, c on another line from v
if m∠avc = 72°
if m∠avb = 5x+5, m∠bvc = 8x+2
find x= ____
m∠avb= ____
m∠bvc= ____

Explanation:

Response
Problem 1: Segment Addition

Step1: Apply Segment Addition Postulate

Since \( C \) is between \( A \) and \( B \), \( AC + CB = AB \). Given \( AC = 6x + 2 \), \( CB = x + 1 \), and \( AB = 52 \), we set up the equation:
\( (6x + 2) + (x + 1) = 52 \)

Step2: Simplify and Solve for \( x \)

Combine like terms:
\( 7x + 3 = 52 \)
Subtract 3 from both sides:
\( 7x = 49 \)
Divide by 7:
\( x = 7 \)

Step3: Find \( AC \)

Substitute \( x = 7 \) into \( AC = 6x + 2 \):
\( AC = 6(7) + 2 = 42 + 2 = 44 \)

Brief Explanations

If \( E \) lies between \( B \) and \( C \), by the Segment Addition Postulate, \( BE + EC = BC \) (or \( B - E - C \) implies \( BE + EC = BC \)).

Step1: Apply Angle Addition Postulate

Since \( D \) is in the interior of \( \angle ABE \), \( m\angle ABD + m\angle DBE = m\angle ABE \).

Problem 4: Angle Addition with Variables

Answer:

\( x = 7 \), \( AC = 44 \)
