Question

class work: monday 9/8/25

  1. diagram: a---c---b, ac=6x+2, cb=x+1, ab=52 x=____ ac=____
  2. if e lies between b and c then______
  3. diagram: angle v with a, b, c if m∠avc = 72°, m∠aub=5x+5, m∠bvc=8x+2 find x=____, m∠aub=__, m∠bvc=____

Explanation:

Response
Problem 1: Segment Lengths

Step1: Set up the equation

Since \( AC + CB = AB \), we have \( (6x + 2) + (x + 1) = 52 \).
Simplify the left side: \( 7x + 3 = 52 \).

Step2: Solve for \( x \)

Subtract 3 from both sides: \( 7x = 52 - 3 = 49 \).
Divide by 7: \( x = \frac{49}{7} = 7 \).

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 \( C \), then by the segment addition postulate, \( BE + EC = BC \) (or \( B - E - C \) collinear with \( BE + EC = BC \)).

Step1: Set up the angle equation

Since \( D \) is in the interior of \( \angle ABE \), \( m\angle ABD + m\angle DBE = m\angle ABE \). (Note: The diagram's angle label might have a typo, assuming \( \angle ABE \) as the angle with interior point \( D \).)

Step2: (If more info, but as per structure, state the postulate)

By the angle addition postulate, the sum of the two adjacent angles formed by a point in the interior equals the measure of the larger angle.

Answer:

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