Question

ABCDE is a regular pentagon in the shown figure find the value of x ,y, z

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:example

sum property of triangle] →(1) Also each angle of a regular pentagon is 108° Hence ∠a + ∠x = 108° ⇒ ∠x = 108° – ∠a ∴ Equation (1) becomes, ∠b + ∠c + 108° – ∠a  = 180°⇒ ∠b + ∠c – ∠a  = 180° – 108° = 72°  

Answer 2

x = 36°, y = 36°, z = 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know,

'All inner angles of a regular pentagon value 108°'

∵ ∠B = 108°

Pentagon consists of 3 parts and therefore, each angle values;

108/3 = 36°

∵ y = 36°             (since ∠B = 3y)

ΔEBD is an isosceles Δ and as we know, sum of all the angles of a triangle = 180°

∵ y + z + ∠DEB = 180°

Since isosceles triangles has two equal sides,

z = ∠DEB

⇒ y + z + z = 180°

⇒ y + 2z = 180°

By putting the value of y in the above equation,

36° + 2z = 180°

2z = 180° - 36°

z = 144°/2

z = 72°

Now, x and y are alternate angles

∵ x = y = 36°                       (alternate angles are equal)

Thus, x = 36°, y = 36° , and z = 72°
