Part A: What type of angle pair are angles ILM and KML? Part B: Are they congruent or supplementary? Part C: Set up an equation and solve for x. Part D: What are the measures of angles ILM and KML?

Solution

Let's go through each part of the problem, analyzing the image and providing solutions:

Part A: Angle Pair Type

The angles ILM\angle ILM and KML\angle KML are positioned on a straight line with their vertex points touching line FMGFMG. Since they share a common side and are on opposite sides of the transversal line FMGFMG, they are linear pair angles.

Part B: Congruent or Supplementary?

Linear pair angles are always supplementary because they are adjacent angles that form a straight line. Therefore, their measures add up to 180180^\circ.

Part C: Equation Setup and Solution

We have been given that:

  • KML=115\angle KML = 115^\circ
  • ILM=(8x+17)\angle ILM = (8x + 17)^\circ

Since ILM\angle ILM and KML\angle KML are supplementary, their sum is 180180^\circ: (8x+17)+115=180(8x + 17) + 115 = 180

Solving for xx:

  1. Combine like terms: 8x+132=1808x + 132 = 180
  2. Subtract 132132 from both sides: 8x=488x = 48
  3. Divide by 88: x=6x = 6

Part D: Measure of Angles ILMILM and KMLKML

Now, we substitute x=6x = 6 back into the expression for ILM\angle ILM: ILM=8x+17=8(6)+17=48+17=65\angle ILM = 8x + 17 = 8(6) + 17 = 48 + 17 = 65^\circ

Since KML=115\angle KML = 115^\circ, we can verify the sum: ILM+KML=65+115=180\angle ILM + \angle KML = 65 + 115 = 180^\circ The calculations confirm that ILM\angle ILM and KML\angle KML are supplementary.

Summary of Answers:

  • Part A: Linear pair
  • Part B: Supplementary
  • Part C: x=6x = 6
  • Part D: ILM=65\angle ILM = 65^\circ and KML=115\angle KML = 115^\circ

Here are five related questions for further exploration:

  1. What are vertical angles, and how do they relate to linear pairs?
  2. If ILM\angle ILM is decreased by 1010^\circ, what would xx be?
  3. How would the equation change if KML\angle KML was instead given as (9x+2)(9x + 2)^\circ?
  4. Can two angles be supplementary if they are not adjacent?
  5. What is the difference between complementary and supplementary angles?

Tip: For any two adjacent angles that form a straight line, remember that they are always supplementary and add up to 180180^\circ.
