A b and c lie on a straight line given that angle y = 125 and angle z = 313 work out x

∠x = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

∠y + ∠1 = 180

=> 125 + ∠1 = 180

=> ∠1 = 180 - 125

=> ∠1 = 55

∠z + ∠2 = 360

=> 313 + ∠2 = 360

=> ∠2 = 360-313

=> ∠2 = 47

∠1 + ∠2 + ∠x = 180

=> 55 + 47 + ∠x = 180

=> ∠x = 180 - 55 - 47

=> ∠x = 78

Skills needed: Exterior Angle Theorem, Triangle Geometry:

1) We need to solve for and there are 2 methods to do it. I will go over the fastest way (since it's better).

2) In order to use this theorem, we need to solve for the angle near . This angle would be , which is (since ).

=

3) Then, we can use the fact that (47 is the measure of the angle we just solved for.)

, so

Subtract 47 from both sides, and get

Hope you understood and have a nice day! :D

Note: I have attached one image that shows my work, and another image that shows the exterior angle theorem (which I created on a whiteboard). Hope you get it! If you have any questions, comment and I can answer it ASAP!

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.

step-by-step explanation:

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
