Answer:
b. x =24°
c. ∡6 = 79°
Explanation:
Given:
A ║ B
Solution
a.
Complete sentences to explain how the special angles created by the intersection of A and B by D can be used to solve for x is:
- Sum of 3x+7 and ∡3 is supplementary 3x+7+∡3= 180° as it the pair angle of linear pair.
- 4x + 5 is congruent to ∡3 as corresponding angle are equal or congruent.
Since replacing value of ∡3 as 4x +5 at supplementary equation 3x+7+∡3= 180°, we can easily find the value of x.
b.
Calculating value of x.
3x+7+∡3= 180°
replacing value of ∡3 as 4x +5
3x + 7 + 4x + 5 = 180°
7x + 12 = 180°
7x = 180° - 12°
7x = 168°

x = 24
Therefore, value of x is 24.
c.
Let's find the measure angle of ∡6.
∡6 = 3x + 7 Since corresponding angles are equal or congruent.
Substituting value of x,
∡6 = 3*24 + 7
∡6 = 79°
Therefore, ∡6 = 79°
