If there are two supplementary angles, ∠D
and ∠E
, where m∠D=(4x+8)° and m∠E=(x+17)° , and ∠F is a vertical angle with ∠D , what is the measure of ∠F ?
Since we know that ∠D and ∠E are supplementary angles, we can set up the equation:
m∠D + m∠E = 180°
Substituting the given measures, we have:
(4x + 8)° + (x + 17)° = 180°
Combining like terms, we get:
5x + 25 = 180
Subtracting 25 from both sides, we have:
5x = 155
Dividing both sides by 5, we get:
x = 31
Now, we can find the measure of ∠D:
m∠D = (4x + 8)° = (4(31) + 8)° = 132°
Since ∠F is a vertical angle with ∠D, it will also measure 132°.
that is so wrong
Apologies for the incorrect answer earlier. Let's correct the solution:
Since ∠D and ∠E are supplementary angles, their measures should add up to 180°:
m∠D + m∠E = 180°
We are given that m∠D = (4x + 8)° and m∠E = (x + 17)°. Substituting these values into the equation, we get:
(4x + 8)° + (x + 17)° = 180°
Combining like terms, we have:
5x + 25 = 180
Subtracting 25 from both sides, we get:
5x = 155
Dividing both sides by 5, we find:
x = 31
Now, let's find the measures of ∠D and ∠E:
m∠D = (4x + 8)° = (4(31) + 8)° = 132°
m∠E = (x + 17)° = (31 + 17)° = 48°
Since ∠F is a vertical angle with ∠D, it will have the same measure as ∠D. Therefore, the measure of ∠F is 132°.
