an abuuse angle is formed by two adjacent angles with measure x - 5 and 3x if the resulting angle measure is 107 what is the angle meause of each of the two inknown anglez round to the nerset whole number
First, we know that the sum of the two adjacent angles forms a straight line, which means they add up to 180 degrees.
So, we can set up the equation:
(x-5) + (3x) = 180
4x - 5 = 180
4x = 185
x = 46.25
Then, we can plug in this value of x into the individual angle measures:
First angle: x - 5 = 46.25 - 5 = 41.25
Second angle: 3x = 3(46.25) = 138.75
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the unknown angles measure approximately:
First angle: 41 degrees
Second angle: 139 degrees
