I have two questions
Given) MON= PQR, with MO= 20, MN= 32, and PR= 3x-10, find the value of x
Given) WIN= LUV, with m<W=38, m<V= 102, and m<I= 7x+5, find the value of x
32 = 3 x - 10
I = U
= 180 - 38 - 102 = 7 x + 5
To find the value of x in the equation MON = PQR, with MO = 20, MN = 32, and PR = 3x - 10, we can use the property of congruent triangles. Since MON is congruent to PQR, the corresponding sides and angles are equal.
Given:
MO = 20
MN = 32
PR = 3x - 10
We know that corresponding sides are equal:
MO = PQ
MN = QR
Therefore, we can set up the following equations:
20 = PQ
32 = QR
To find the value of x, we need to find the value of PR (which is equal to QR).
From the equation 32 = QR, we can conclude that QR = 32.
Substituting QR = 32 into the equation PR = 3x - 10, we get:
32 = 3x - 10
Now, let's solve the equation for x:
32 + 10 = 3x
42 = 3x
Dividing both sides by 3:
42/3 = x
14 = x
Therefore, the value of x is 14.
Now let's move on to the second question:
To find the value of x in the equation WIN = LUV, with m<W = 38, m<V = 102, and m<I = 7x + 5, we can use the property of congruent triangles.
Given:
m<W = 38
m<V = 102
m<I = 7x + 5
We know that corresponding angles are equal:
m<W = m<L
m<V = m<U
Therefore, we can set up the following equations:
38 = m<L
102 = m<U
To find the value of x, we need to find the value of m<I (which is equal to m<U).
From the equation 102 = m<U, we can conclude that m<U = 102.
Substituting m<U = 102 into the equation m<I = 7x + 5, we get:
102 = 7x + 5
Now, let's solve the equation for x:
102 - 5 = 7x
97 = 7x
Dividing both sides by 7:
97/7 = x
13.86 = x (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the value of x is approximately 13.86.
To find the value of x in the given equations, we can use the fact that corresponding sides and corresponding angles of congruent triangles are equal. Let's break down each question separately:
Question 1:
Given "MON = PQR" with measurements MO = 20, MN = 32, and PR = 3x - 10, we want to find the value of x.
To solve this, we need to find the measurements of the corresponding sides in the two triangles.
We know from the given information that MO = 20 and MN = 32. From the congruent triangles, we can determine that PO and PN are also 20 and 32, respectively.
Now we can set up an equation using the corresponding sides:
PR = PO + ON
3x - 10 = 20 + 32
3x - 10 = 52
Next, we solve for x:
3x = 52 + 10
3x = 62
x = 62/3
Therefore, the value of x is 62/3.
Question 2:
Given "WIN = LUV" with m<W = 38, m<V = 102, and m<I = 7x + 5, we want to find the value of x.
Similar to question 1, we need to find the measurements of the corresponding sides in the given triangles.
Since the angles of congruent triangles are equal, we know that m<I = m<I, which gives us the equation:
7x + 5 = 38 + 102
Now we solve for x:
7x = 38 + 102 - 5
7x = 135
x = 135/7
Therefore, the value of x is 135/7.
