Solution

Let's solve the problems in the given figures.

Problem 1: Value of a+bx\frac{a+b}{x}

In the first figure, we have lines l1l2l_1 \parallel l_2. We are given several angles and need to find the value of a+bx\frac{a + b}{x}.

  1. From the figure:
    • ABE=2a\angle ABE = 2a
    • EBC=b\angle EBC = b
    • FDE=x\angle FDE = x
    • BAD=a\angle BAD = a
    • BDA=2b\angle BDA = 2b

Since l1l2l_1 \parallel l_2, angles formed by a transversal are congruent or supplementary. Using the given angles:

  • ABE=2a\angle ABE = 2a
  • EBC=b\angle EBC = b

Thus, ABC=2a+b\angle ABC = 2a + b.

Next, consider triangle FDEFDE:

DEF=90\angle DEF = 90^\circ

The exterior angle theorem states that an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

x=ABE+EBC=2a+bx = \angle ABE + \angle EBC = 2a + b

Therefore,

a+bx=a+b2a+b\frac{a + b}{x} = \frac{a + b}{2a + b}

Problem 2: Measure of Angles DSC,PAS,SAB,\angle DSC, \angle PAS, \angle SAB, and CST\angle CST

Given:

  • SCABSC \parallel AB
  • ADAD is a ray
  • RSPQRS \parallel PQ

Angle Calculations:

  1. DSC\angle DSC: DSC=32 (given directly)\angle DSC = 32^\circ \text{ (given directly)}

  2. PAS\angle PAS:

    • Since RSPQRS \parallel PQ and AST=3x\angle AST = 3x, using corresponding angles: PAS=3x\angle PAS = 3x
  3. SAB\angle SAB:

    • Using alternate interior angles: SAB=68 (since ABSC)\angle SAB = 68^\circ \text{ (since } AB \parallel SC)
  4. CST\angle CST:

    • Using the parallel lines and the transversal: CST=PAS=3x\angle CST = \angle PAS = 3x

Summarizing the solutions:

  1. a+bx=a+b2a+b\frac{a + b}{x} = \frac{a + b}{2a + b}
  2. DSC=32\angle DSC = 32^\circ
  3. PAS=3x\angle PAS = 3x
  4. SAB=68\angle SAB = 68^\circ
  5. CST=3x\angle CST = 3x

Tip: When dealing with parallel lines and transversals, always look for corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles to help solve for unknowns.
