What do you think the answer is?
well i got C
Yes!
.If angle9 = 7y° and angle10 = 3y°, what is the measure of angle16 such that x is parallel to z? A. 54° B. 90° C. 126° D. 18°
this one i got D
You solved for y which is 18 but that is not what they are asking.
Having solved for y how much is angle 9?
it says 9=7.
angle 9 is 7 times y.
Let us start from the beginning. What is the sum of angles 9 and 10?
isnt it 7 and 3? or am i suppose to look for something else.
The problem says angle 9 = 7y and angle 10 = 3y So what is the sum of angles 9 and 10?
y is an unknown that we have to solve for.
how do i find the sum?
Add 7y and 3y. 7y + 3y = ?
just simplify the expression 7y + 3y
Example: 5x + 3x = 8x
10
It is 10y
Sum of angle 9 and angle 10 = 10y Looking at the figure do you recognize angles 9 and 10 are supplementary?
yeah
And supplementary angles always add up to how many degrees?
180
Yes. Previously we found the sum of angle 9 and angle 10 = 10y. And because angle 9 and angle 10 are supplementary they add up to 180 So 10y = 180 What is y?
Divide both sides by 10
18
yes y = 18. angle 9 = 7 x y = 7 x 18 = ?
is that 7 times y or is it 7x?
seven times
angle 9 = (7)(y) = (7)(18) = ?
im not really sure
you just need to multiply 7 and 18
oooh 126
Yes. If angle 9 is 126 what will angle 14 be?
Examples: In the diagram, angles 1 and 6 are called vertical opposite angles and they are equal. Angles 2 and 5 are vertical opposites and they are equal. Angles 3 & 8 are equal. Angles 4 & 7 are equal. Now can you answer the previous question?
