Question

In the triangle below, suppose that mZW=(x+4)º, mZX=(5x-4)°, and mLY= (4x)".Find the degree measure of each angle in the triangle.

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} W+X+Y=180 \\ x+4+5x-4+4x=180 \\ 10x=180 \\ x=18 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{The angle W is,} \\ W=x+4 \\ W=18+4=22 \\ \text{The angle X is,} \\ X=5x-4 \\ X=5*18-4=86 \\ \text{The angle Y is,} \\ Y=4x \\ Y=4*18=72 \end{gathered}`
