Find the value of x. The diagram is not to scale.
Given: angle upper S upper R upper T congruent to angle upper S upper T upper R, mangleSRT = 20, mangleSTU = 4x
Triangle upper R upper S upper T is shown with upper R in the lower left corner moving clockwise around to the other vertices. Segment upper R upper T is horizontal. Point upper U is drawn to the right of point upper T so that ray upper R upper U is formed and drawn.
In the given diagram, we have angle SRT congruent to angle STR, so they must both be equal to 20 degrees.
We also have angle STU equal to 4x degrees.
Since the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees, we can set up the following equation:
20 + 20 + 4x = 180
Simplifying, we get:
40 + 4x = 180
Subtracting 40 from both sides, we get:
4x = 140
Dividing both sides by 4, we get:
x = 35
Therefore, the value of x is 35.
To find the value of x, let's analyze the given information:
1. Angle SRT is congruent (equal) to angle STR.
This means that the measure of angle STR is also 20°.
2. Angle STU is given as 4x.
Now, we know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. So, we can set up an equation to solve for x:
m angle SRT + m angle STR + m angle STU = 180°
20° + 20° + 4x = 180°
Combining like terms:
40° + 4x = 180°
Subtracting 40° from both sides:
4x = 140°
Dividing both sides by 4:
x = 35°
Therefore, the value of x is 35°.
To find the value of x, we can use the angles in the given diagram.
We are given that angle SRT is congruent to angle STR. This means that they have the same measure. Let's call the measure of angle SRT as y.
We are also given that the measure of angle STR is 20 degrees. So, we can write the equation:
y = 20
Now, we know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. So, we can set up an equation for triangle STU:
y + 4x + (180 - y - 4x) = 180
Simplifying this equation, we get:
y + 4x + 180 - y - 4x = 180
Canceling out the terms, we get:
4x = 0
Dividing both sides by 4, we get:
x = 0
Therefore, the value of x is 0.
