Solution

Let's break down the tasks based on the image you uploaded:


Part A:

For each diagram, the instructions ask to:

  1. State the type of angles given.
  2. State their relationship.
  3. Find the value of xx.

Here’s a step-by-step approach to solve the problems:

1. Diagram 1:

  • Type of angles: Vertical angles (opposite angles when two lines intersect).
  • Relationship: Vertical angles are equal.
  • Equation: 80=2x80^\circ = 2x, solve for xx: 2x=80    x=402x = 80 \implies x = 40

2. Diagram 2:

  • Type of angles: Vertical angles.
  • Relationship: Vertical angles are equal.
  • Equation: 120=3x120^\circ = 3x, solve for xx: 3x=120    x=403x = 120 \implies x = 40

3. Diagram 3:

  • Type of angles: Supplementary angles (sum to 180180^\circ).
  • Relationship: The two angles are on a straight line, so they add up to 180180^\circ.
  • Equation: 2x+110=1802x + 110 = 180, solve for xx: 2x=180110    2x=70    x=352x = 180 - 110 \implies 2x = 70 \implies x = 35

4. Diagram 4:

  • Type of angles: Corresponding angles.
  • Relationship: Corresponding angles are equal.
  • Equation: 80=x+1580^\circ = x + 15, solve for xx: x+15=80    x=8015    x=65x + 15 = 80 \implies x = 80 - 15 \implies x = 65

5. Diagram 5:

  • Type of angles: Vertical angles.
  • Relationship: Vertical angles are equal.
  • Equation: 68=2x68^\circ = 2x, solve for xx: 2x=68    x=342x = 68 \implies x = 34

6. Diagram 6:

  • Type of angles: Supplementary angles.
  • Relationship: The two angles are on a straight line, so they add up to 180180^\circ.
  • Equation: 92+(2x4)=18092^\circ + (2x - 4) = 180, solve for xx: 2x4=18092    2x4=88    2x=92    x=462x - 4 = 180 - 92 \implies 2x - 4 = 88 \implies 2x = 92 \implies x = 46

Part B:

Find the missing variables based on the relationships of the angles.

7. Diagram 7:

  • Type of angles: Corresponding angles.
  • Equation 1: 75=5x1075^\circ = 5x - 10, solve for xx: 5x10=75    5x=85    x=175x - 10 = 75 \implies 5x = 85 \implies x = 17
  • Equation 2: 75=10y2575^\circ = 10y - 25, solve for yy: 10y25=75    10y=100    y=1010y - 25 = 75 \implies 10y = 100 \implies y = 10

8. Diagram 8:

  • Type of angles: Alternate interior angles.
  • Equation 1: 60=3x+1560^\circ = 3x + 15, solve for xx: 3x+15=60    3x=45    x=153x + 15 = 60 \implies 3x = 45 \implies x = 15
  • Equation 2: 60=5y1060^\circ = 5y - 10, solve for yy: 5y10=60    5y=70    y=145y - 10 = 60 \implies 5y = 70 \implies y = 14

9. Diagram 9:

  • Type of angles: Alternate interior angles.
  • Equation: 102=2x+12102^\circ = 2x + 12, solve for xx: 2x+12=102    2x=90    x=452x + 12 = 102 \implies 2x = 90 \implies x = 45

Would you like more detailed explanations for any of these steps, or have any questions?

Here are five additional practice questions to expand on this:

  1. What is the relationship between alternate exterior angles?
  2. How do you identify corresponding angles in a pair of parallel lines?
  3. Solve for xx if the supplementary angle to 7070^\circ is given as 2x+102x + 10.
  4. How are vertical angles and adjacent angles different?
  5. Can two acute angles ever be supplementary? Why or why not?

Tip: Always remember that angles on a straight line sum up to 180180^\circ (linear pair).
