Solution

Let's solve each of these questions step by step:


Question 8

Given that TV bisects STU\angle STU, and
mSTV=27+3xandmUTV=5+7x.m\angle STV = 27 + 3x \quad \text{and} \quad m\angle UTV = -5 + 7x.
Since TVTV bisects STU\angle STU, we know:
mSTV=mUTV.m\angle STV = m\angle UTV.
Set the two expressions equal to each other:
27+3x=5+7x.27 + 3x = -5 + 7x.
Solve for xx:
27+5=7x3x32=4xx=8.27 + 5 = 7x - 3x \quad \Rightarrow \quad 32 = 4x \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 8.

Now substitute x=8x = 8 into mSTVm\angle STV:
mSTV=27+3(8)=27+24=51.m\angle STV = 27 + 3(8) = 27 + 24 = 51^\circ.

Since TVTV bisects STU\angle STU, we know:
mSTU=2×mSTV=2×51=102.m\angle STU = 2 \times m\angle STV = 2 \times 51 = 102^\circ.

Answer for Question 8: mSTU=102.m\angle STU = 102^\circ.


Question 9

Given that TV bisects STU\angle STU, and
mSTV=64+2xandmUTV=46+8x.m\angle STV = 64 + 2x \quad \text{and} \quad m\angle UTV = 46 + 8x.
Since TVTV bisects STU\angle STU, we have:
mSTV=mUTV.m\angle STV = m\angle UTV.
Set the two expressions equal:
64+2x=46+8x.64 + 2x = 46 + 8x.
Solve for xx:
6446=8x2x18=6xx=3.64 - 46 = 8x - 2x \quad \Rightarrow \quad 18 = 6x \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 3.

Now substitute x=3x = 3 into mSTVm\angle STV:
mSTV=64+2(3)=64+6=70.m\angle STV = 64 + 2(3) = 64 + 6 = 70^\circ.

Since TVTV bisects STU\angle STU, we know:
mSTU=2×mSTV=2×70=140.m\angle STU = 2 \times m\angle STV = 2 \times 70 = 140^\circ.

Answer for Question 9: mSTU=140.m\angle STU = 140^\circ.


Question 10

To find IOH\angle IOH from the protractor diagram:

From the image, II aligns with 30° on the left, and HH aligns with 100° on the right.
The angle IOH\angle IOH is the difference between the two measurements:
mIOH=10030=70.m\angle IOH = 100^\circ - 30^\circ = 70^\circ.

Answer for Question 10: mIOH=70.m\angle IOH = 70^\circ.


Do you want further clarification on any question? Let me know!

Here are some follow-up questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How do you determine when an angle is bisected?
  2. What is the relationship between the measures of STV\angle STV and UTV\angle UTV?
  3. How can you verify that a protractor reading is correct?
  4. What happens when an angle is not bisected, and how would you solve for xx then?
  5. Can you extend this idea to trisection of an angle?

Tip: When dealing with angles, always check if the given conditions (like bisected angles) divide the overall angle into equal parts.
