Math Problem Statement

In triangle ABC, the angles are given as 80°, 2x + 20°, and 3x + 10°. The problem asks to find the value of x and the measures of ∠CBF and ∠DCB.

Solution

The given image shows a triangle ABC\triangle ABC with angles represented algebraically as 80,2x+2080^\circ, 2x + 20, and 3x+103x + 10. The problem asks to find the value of xx, and the measures of CBF\angle CBF and DCB\angle DCB.

Let's break down the solution step-by-step:

(a) Finding xx:

The sum of angles in any triangle is 180180^\circ.

80+(2x+20)+(3x+10)=18080 + (2x + 20) + (3x + 10) = 180

Simplifying:

80+2x+20+3x+10=18080 + 2x + 20 + 3x + 10 = 180

5x+110=1805x + 110 = 180

5x=1801105x = 180 - 110

5x=705x = 70

x=14x = 14

(b) CBF\angle CBF:

We need to calculate CBF\angle CBF. The information for this angle isn't clear from the given image, but let's assume the problem asks for an exterior angle or adjacent angle. Since CBF\angle CBF is not directly stated, more context is needed to clarify this.

(c) DCB\angle DCB:

Similarly, to find DCB\angle DCB, the diagram doesn't give enough details. Let's calculate DBC\angle DBC.

For now, let's assume the given angles and sides:

  • For BAC=2x+20=2(14)+20=28+20=48\angle BAC = 2x + 20 = 2(14) + 20 = 28 + 20 = 48^\circ.
  • For ABC=3x+10=3(14)+10=42+10=52\angle ABC = 3x + 10 = 3(14) + 10 = 42 + 10 = 52^\circ.
  • ACB=180(80+48)=180128=52\angle ACB = 180 - (80 + 48) = 180 - 128 = 52^\circ.

Relative Questions:

  1. What is the significance of CBF\angle CBF and DCB\angle DCB in the context of this triangle?
  2. Are there any other properties of ABC\triangle ABC that we should consider (e.g., is it isosceles)?
  3. How would we verify the triangle angle sum property using this data?
  4. Can we find side lengths or relationships using the angle measures given?
  5. Are there any exterior angles we need to account for?

Tip: Always recheck your calculated angle measures to ensure they align with triangle properties, such as the sum being 180 degrees.
