Find the value of x, (Geometry, Will give medal)
We know from a theorem that a straight line always gives us a straight angle, meaning that any point I take from it wil have an angle of 180º. So, no matter how many angles I have if they are between two points I know are alined, then their sum must be 180º. Si, in the drawing we have the angle x, a right angle and a angle of 67º. But since I know they all must sum up to 180º, then I can write it mathematicalltçy: \[x+90º+67º=180º\] and all you have to do is solve for x.
x=23?
Correct!
thank! can you help me with 2 other problems similar to this one? this section in my geometry class im really struggling with!
Sure, that's why I'm here.
its finding the value of x again.
Are those the angles?, the drawing is pretty messy.
its a jpeg from my practice test. so i assume that they are angles.
Okay, Do you know how many degrees a full circle has?
360.
Good, so all those four angles must sum up 360º. so writing it mathematically: \[x+(x+3)+(x+10)+(x+1)=360º\] simplifying: \[4x+14=360º\] And all you have to do i solve for x
i got 86.50
that's correct, not many times will angles with an "x" give you a whole number.
Crap, i have answers to choose from, which are A. 1/2 B. 3/4 C. 2 D. 4 now im super confused..
@Owlcoffee
are you sure those were angles?
i think its 1/2
yep i was right. thanks for the help.! i did the last one on my own and i understand the concept a lot better thank you!
