Solution
Let's solve the problems in the image you've uploaded:
1. Given:
- m∠ABD=40∘
- m∠ABC=78∘
Find m∠DBC:
- We know that m∠ABC=m∠ABD+m∠DBC.
- So, 78∘=40∘+m∠DBC.
- Solving for m∠DBC, we get m∠DBC=78∘−40∘=38∘.
2. Given:
- m∠ABD=40∘
- m∠DBC=36∘
Find m∠ABC:
- We know that m∠ABC=m∠ABD+m∠DBC.
- So, m∠ABC=40∘+36∘=76∘.
3. Given:
- m∠WXZ=57∘
- m∠WXY=123∘
Find m∠ZXY:
- We know that m∠WXY=m∠WXZ+m∠ZXY.
- So, 123∘=57∘+m∠ZXY.
- Solving for m∠ZXY, we get m∠ZXY=123∘−57∘=66∘.
4. Given:
- m∠ZXY=54∘
- m∠WXZ=60∘
Find m∠WXY:
- We know that m∠WXY=m∠WXZ+m∠ZXY.
- So, m∠WXY=60∘+54∘=114∘.
5. Given:
- m∠LMN=135∘
- m∠LMV=45x−1∘
- m∠VMN=23x
Find x:
- The three angles form a straight line, so their sum should be 180∘.
- Set up the equation:
135∘+(45x−1∘)+23x=180∘.
- Simplifying:
135+45x−1+23x=180,
134+68x=180,
68x=46,
x=6846=3423≈0.676.
6. Given:
- m∠GFE=157∘
- m∠NFE=14x+3∘
- m∠GFN=4x+10∘
Find x:
- The sum of the three angles should be 180∘ because they form a straight line.
- Set up the equation:
157∘+(14x+3∘)+(4x+10∘)=180∘,
157+14x+3+4x+10=180,
170+18x=180,
18x=10,
x=1810=95≈0.556.
7. Classify the angles as acute, obtuse, right, or straight:
- ∠DOG: Appears obtuse (greater than 90∘).
- ∠DOS: Appears acute (less than 90∘).
- ∠DSG: Appears obtuse.
- ∠GOS: Appears acute.
