Question

In the figure, RQS QLK.

What is the value of x?

36
72
108
144

Answer 1

The value of x = 108, since the two angles are corresponding, which means they have the same angle, making the angle underneath 108 - 36, which =equals 72, and 72 + 108 = 180

Answer 2

C. 108.

Explanation:

We have been given a diagram, in which angle RQS is congruent to angle QLK. We are asked to find the value of x.

We can see that angle QLK and angle MLK are supplementary angles, so we can set an equation as:

`x+x-36=180`

`2x-36=180`

Upon adding 36 on both sides of our equation we will get,

`2x-36+36=180+36`

`2x=216`

Now, we will divide both sides of our equation by 2.

`(2x)/(2)=(216)/(2)`

`x=108`

Therefore, the value of x is 108 and option C is the correct choice.
