Math Problem Statement

Find the value of each variable by arranging the variables from greatest to least.

Find the value of each variable by arranging the variables from greatest to least based on the geometric figure with intersecting lines.

Solution

Let's analyze the given geometric figure. We are dealing with multiple intersecting lines and angles labeled with variables and numerical values.

Step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Understanding the angles:

    • The angle marked as 6262^\circ is already known.
    • The angle (23m+4)(23m + 4)^\circ and the angle 6262^\circ form a linear pair because they are on a straight line. Therefore, they are supplementary, meaning their sum is 180180^\circ.
    • The angle (9i)(9i)^\circ is vertically opposite the angle (23m+4)(23m + 4)^\circ. Thus, (9i)=(23m+4)(9i)^\circ = (23m + 4)^\circ.
  2. The right angle at CC (indicated by the square box) tells us that angles around this intersection follow specific properties:

    • The angle (6t3)(6t - 3)^\circ and the angle 9090^\circ form a linear pair.
    • The angle (2e4)(2e - 4)^\circ and (1e)(-1 - e)^\circ are on a straight line, making them supplementary.

Equations setup:

  • Equation 1: (23m+4)+62=180(23m + 4)^\circ + 62^\circ = 180^\circ
  • Equation 2: (9i)=(23m+4)(9i)^\circ = (23m + 4)^\circ
  • Equation 3: (6t3)+90=180(6t - 3)^\circ + 90^\circ = 180^\circ
  • Equation 4: (2e4)+(1e)=180(2e - 4)^\circ + (-1 - e)^\circ = 180^\circ

Solving for the variables:

  1. Solving for mm: From Equation 1: (23m+4)+62=180(23m + 4) + 62 = 180 23m+66=18023m + 66 = 180 23m=11423m = 114 m=11423=4.965m = \frac{114}{23} = 4.96 \approx 5

  2. Solving for ii: From Equation 2: 9i=23m+49i = 23m + 4 Substituting m=5m = 5: 9i=23(5)+4=115+4=1199i = 23(5) + 4 = 115 + 4 = 119 i=1199=13.22i = \frac{119}{9} = 13.22

  3. Solving for tt: From Equation 3: (6t3)+90=180(6t - 3) + 90 = 180 6t3=906t - 3 = 90 6t=936t = 93 t=936=15.5t = \frac{93}{6} = 15.5

  4. Solving for ee: From Equation 4: (2e4)+(1e)=180(2e - 4) + (-1 - e) = 180 Simplifying: 2e41e=1802e - 4 - 1 - e = 180 e5=180e - 5 = 180 e=185e = 185

Conclusion:

The values of the variables from greatest to least are:

  • e=185e = 185
  • t=15.5t = 15.5
  • i=13.22i = 13.22
  • m=5m = 5
