If angle AOB = 4x-2, Angle COD = 2x+14, & BOC = 5x+10. Find x, Angle AOC and Angle AOD.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

diagram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AOB and COD are congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If they are congruent, then set them equal to each other, and solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x-2 = 2x+14?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If they are congruent, then, yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, they are congruent...the arcs are marked off, which means they are equal in measure. So solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got x = 16, now what do I do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Substitute x = 16 into each of the 3 angles you have ....then you'll have everything you need.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh so for example BOC - 5x+10, so I put 16 where the x is the the 5x+10 and multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I add or subtact the 10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because BOC does not look like 90 it looks smaller
