Math Problem Statement
if angle ABC is one degree less than three times angle ABD and angle DBC = 47 degrees, find each measure.
Solution
Given the problem, let's define the angles as follows:
- Let the measure of angle be .
- Therefore, the measure of angle is (since it's one degree less than three times angle ).
- Angle is given as .
Since is the sum of angles and , we can write:
Substituting the values we have:
Now, solve for :
Now that we have , which is the measure of angle , we can find the measure of angle :
Thus, the measures of the angles are:
