Let's go through each problem one by one:
Problem 13:
In △MNP, the angle measures are given as:
- m∠M=(4x−3)∘
- m∠N=(9x−6)∘
- m∠P=(6x−1)∘
Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180∘, we can set up the equation:
(4x−3)+(9x−6)+(6x−1)=180
19x−10=180
19x=190
x=10
Now, let's find each angle:
- m∠M=4x−3=4(10)−3=40−3=37∘
- m∠N=9x−6=9(10)−6=90−6=84∘
- m∠P=6x−1=6(10)−1=60−1=59∘
Solution for Problem 13:
- x=10
- m∠M=37∘
- m∠N=84∘
- m∠P=59∘
Problem 14:
In △RST, the angle measures are:
- m∠R=2x+5
- m∠S=x+1
- m∠T=7x−16
The sum of the angles must be 180∘:
(2x+5)+(x+1)+(7x−16)=180
10x−10=180
10x=190
x=19
Now, let's find each angle:
- m∠R=2(19)+5=38+5=43∘
- m∠S=19+1=20∘
- m∠T=7(19)−16=133−16=117∘
Solution for Problem 14:
- x=19
- m∠R=43∘
- m∠S=20∘
- m∠T=117∘
Problem 15:
In △ABC, the angle measures are:
- m∠A=m∠C−13
- m∠B=4m∠C−11
Let m∠C=x. Then:
m∠A=x−13,m∠B=4x−11
The sum of the angles must be 180∘:
(x−13)+(4x−11)+x=180
6x−24=180
6x=204
x=34
Now, let's find each angle:
- m∠C=34∘
- m∠A=34−13=21∘
- m∠B=4(34)−11=136−11=125∘
Solution for Problem 15:
- m∠A=21∘
- m∠B=125∘
- m∠C=34∘
Problem 16:
In △JKL, the angle measures are:
- m∠K=m∠J+9
- m∠L=2m∠J−21
Let m∠J=x. Then:
m∠K=x+9,m∠L=2x−21
The sum of the angles must be 180∘:
x+(x+9)+(2x−21)=180
4x−12=180
4x=192
x=48
Now, let's find each angle:
- m∠J=48∘
- m∠K=48+9=57∘
- m∠L=2(48)−21=96−21=75∘
Solution for Problem 16:
- m∠J=48∘
- m∠K=57∘
- m∠L=75∘
Do you need further details or have any questions?
Here are five related questions:
- How would the problem change if the sum of the angles was given in a different type of polygon?
- Can you solve for unknown angles in a quadrilateral with similar angle expressions?
- What happens if one of the angles is defined in terms of another unknown variable?
- How do you verify the correctness of your calculated angles?
- Can you determine the measure of an exterior angle given the interior angles?
Tip: Always double-check your calculations by ensuring the sum of the angles matches the known properties of the shape.
