Math Problem Statement
if the measurement of angle ABC is one degree less than three times the measurement of angle ABD and the measurement of angle DBC= 47 degrees, find each measure
Solution
Let's define the angles to solve the problem:
- Let be the measurement of angle ABC.
- Let be the measurement of angle ABD.
- Let , which is given.
According to the problem:
-
is one degree less than three times .
-
since is the sum of angles and .
Now, let's use these relationships to find the measurements of the angles.
Substitute the expression for from the first equation into the second equation:
Now, solve for :
Now that we know , we can find :
So, the measurements of the angles are:
- (as given)
