find the value of x and the measure of each angle
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
By property of exterior angle of triangle
4x+2+2x+9 = 5x+13
x = 2
Angle C = 10°. Angle D = 13°
Angle ABD = 23°
ANGLE CBD = 157°
Given,
Angle ABD = (5x+13)°
Angle BCD = (4x+2)°
Angle BDC = (2x+9)°
To find,
The value of x and the measure of each angle.
Solution,
The value of x will be 2 and the measure of angle ABD will be 23°, angle BCD will be 10°, angle BDC will be 13° and angle DBC will be 157°.
We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.
Now, we know that according to the property of exterior angle, the exterior angle in a triangle is equal to the sum of its opposite angles in a triangle.
So,
Angle ABD = Angle BCD + angle BDC
(5x+13)° = (4x+2)° + (2x+9)°
= 6x+11
5x+13-11 = 6x ( Moving 11 from the right-hand side to the left-hand side results in the change of the sign from plus to minus.)
5x+2 = 6x
6x-5x = 2
x = 2
Putting the value of x in the given angles,
Angle ABD = (5x+13)°
Angle ABD = (5×2+13)°
Angle ABD = (10+13)°
Angle ABD = 23°
Angle BCD = (4x+2)°
Angle BCD = (4×2+2)°
Angle BCD = (8+2)°
Angle BCD = 10°
Angle BDC = (2x+9)°
Angle BDC = (2×2+9)°
Angle BDC = (4+9)°
Angle BDC = 13°
Now, we know that the angle made on a straight line is 180°. And AC is a line.
So,
angle DBC = (180-angle ABD)°
angle DBC = (180-23)°
angle DBC = 157°
Hence, the value of x is 2 and the measure of angle ABD 23°, angle BCD is 10°, angle BDC is 13° and angle DBC 157°.
