Math Problem Statement

For questions 11-17, refer to the figures and answer based on angle relationships, such as vertical, supplementary, and congruent angles. Solve for x and y in equations given for angle measures.

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: 5x+4=8x115x + 4 = 8x - 11 Solving for xx:

5x+4=8x115x + 4 = 8x - 11 4+11=8x5x4 + 11 = 8x - 5x 15=3x15 = 3x x=5x = 5

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:

5x+(10y+10)=1805x + (10y + 10) = 180

Also, we know ∠RSX = 4x°, and since ∠RSX is vertically opposite to ∠TSU, we have:

4x=10y+104x = 10y + 10

Let's solve these two equations step by step.

I'll calculate the values for xx and yy:The solution is x=20x = 20 and y=7y = 7.

Answer: B. x = 20, y = 7
