Math Problem Statement
Given that AOC is a straight line, find the value of x from the following figure
Given that AOC is a straight line, find the value of x from the following figure.
Solution
To solve this problem:
We know that is a straight line. This means that the sum of the angles along the line at point is . From the figure:
Simplify the equation:
Solve for :
Final Answer:
Would you like more clarification or examples on this? Here are five questions for deeper understanding:
- Why do angles on a straight line sum to ?
- Can you solve a similar problem with different angles?
- What happens if one angle is ? How do you solve for ?
- How do we apply this concept in polygons?
- Can this be extended to angles around a point?
Tip: Always check whether a line is straight (sum of ) or a full circle (sum of ) to ensure correct calculations!
