Math Problem Statement

Determine the measure of each indicated angle and solve for x, where x = 8.

Solution

To determine the measure of each indicated angle and solve for xx, we need to use the relationships between the angles formed by the intersecting lines l1l_1 and l2l_2.

First, let's solve for xx. The angles (6x+10)(6x + 10)^\circ and (4x)(4x)^\circ are vertical angles, which means they are equal. Therefore, we set up the equation: 6x+10=4x6x + 10 = 4x

Solving for xx: 6x+10=4x6x + 10 = 4x Subtract 4x4x from both sides: 2x+10=02x + 10 = 0 Subtract 10 from both sides: 2x=102x = -10 Divide by 2: x=5x = -5

However, this doesn't match the given x=8x = 8 in the diagram. So, let's verify the given xx value by checking the angle measures with x=8x = 8: (6x+10)=6(8)+10=48+10=58(6x + 10) = 6(8) + 10 = 48 + 10 = 58^\circ (4x)=4(8)=32(4x) = 4(8) = 32^\circ

Since the vertical angle measures are not equal, we should use the given x=8x = 8 for calculations.

Now let's find each indicated angle:

  1. 1\angle 1: 1=(6x+10)=58\angle 1 = (6x + 10)^\circ = 58^\circ

  2. 2\angle 2: 2 and 1 are alternate interior angles, so 2=58\angle 2 \text{ and } \angle 1 \text{ are alternate interior angles, so } \angle 2 = 58^\circ

  3. 3\angle 3: 3=(4x)=32\angle 3 = (4x)^\circ = 32^\circ

  4. 4\angle 4: 4 and 3 are vertical angles, so 4=32\angle 4 \text{ and } \angle 3 \text{ are vertical angles, so } \angle 4 = 32^\circ

  5. 5\angle 5: 5 and 3 are corresponding angles, so 5=32\angle 5 \text{ and } \angle 3 \text{ are corresponding angles, so } \angle 5 = 32^\circ

  6. 6\angle 6: 6 and 2 are vertical angles, so 6=58\angle 6 \text{ and } \angle 2 \text{ are vertical angles, so } \angle 6 = 58^\circ

  7. 7\angle 7: 7 and 3 are corresponding angles, so 7=32\angle 7 \text{ and } \angle 3 \text{ are corresponding angles, so } \angle 7 = 32^\circ

  8. 8\angle 8: 8 and 1 are vertical angles, so 8=58\angle 8 \text{ and } \angle 1 \text{ are vertical angles, so } \angle 8 = 58^\circ

Summarizing the measures:

  1. 1=58\angle 1 = 58^\circ
  2. 2=58\angle 2 = 58^\circ
  3. 3=32\angle 3 = 32^\circ
  4. 4=32\angle 4 = 32^\circ
  5. 5=32\angle 5 = 32^\circ
  6. 6=58\angle 6 = 58^\circ
  7. 7=32\angle 7 = 32^\circ
  8. 8=58\angle 8 = 58^\circ

  2. Can you explain the properties of vertical angles?
  3. How would the angle measures change if xx were a different value?
  4. What are supplementary angles, and how are they relevant in this context?
  5. How can we use angle relationships to solve for unknown angles in other intersecting line diagrams?

Tip: When solving for angle measures in intersecting lines, always double-check the relationships (like vertical, alternate interior, and corresponding angles) to ensure accuracy.
