angle ABC is a right angle. Angle 1 = (3x+4) Angle 2= (x+6) find m angle 1 Pleasee help.. if you need a picture pleasee tell me
yes picture?
Well, we know that: \[ (3x+4)+(x+6)=90 \](If neither of these two angles is the right angle on a triangle): \[ 4x+10=90\implies\\ 4x=80\implies\\ x=20 \]Plugging this back in: \[ 3x+4=m\angle 1=3(20)+4=64\deg \]And, we're done.
From the given information, there is no reason to assume that the measure of angle 1 + the measure of angle 2 = the measure of angle ABC which is 90. A diagram is required.
There is a reason, since all other forms are indeterminate for a specific value. That's why I implied it, and added a note.
|dw:1347419091662:dw|Sorry, but I don't understand what this means: "all other forms are indeterminate for a specific value." Without a specificed diagrams the relationship, if any, among the three angles is unknown. For all we know, the angles could be positioned and I have drawn.
