Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through the questions one by one based on the figures shown in the image.
For Questions 11–14, use the figure on the left:
11. Which point is the vertex of all the angles in this figure?
The vertex is where all the lines intersect, which is point B.
Answer: B. B
12. What type of angle is ∠ABC?
∠ABC appears to be a right angle since the other figure states that ∠EBF = 50°, and we see that ∠ABC is formed by two perpendicular lines (horizontally along AB and vertically along BC).
Answer: B. right angle
13. Which is true?
Looking at the figure, ∠EBF is given as 50°. So, the correct statement about ∠EBF is: C. m∠EBF = 50
Answer: C. m∠EBF = 50
14. For what value of x is ∠ATK ≅ ∠MJS if m∠ATK = 5x + 4 and m∠MJS = 8x − 11?
We set the angles equal since they are congruent: Solving for :
Answer: D. 5
For Questions 15–17, use the figure on the right:
15. Which pair of angles are vertical angles?
Vertical angles are formed by the intersection of two lines and are opposite each other. Based on the diagram, ∠RSX and ∠XSW are vertical angles.
Answer: D. ∠RSX, ∠XSW
16. Which angle is supplementary to ∠USV?
Supplementary angles add up to 180°. ∠TSU is supplementary to ∠USV because they form a straight line.
Answer: A. ∠TSU
17. Find x and y.
From the diagram, we know:
- ∠USV = 5x°
- ∠TSU = 10y + 10° Since ∠TSU and ∠USV are supplementary, we have:
Also, we know ∠RSX = 4x°, and since ∠RSX is vertically opposite to ∠TSU, we have:
Let's solve these two equations step by step.
I'll calculate the values for and :The solution is and .
Answer: B. x = 20, y = 7
