Question

Determine the value of x in this polygon.
(6x + 3)
(x + 12.5)°
(2x + 8)

Answer 1

x = 23.5

Explanation:

For a trapezoid, the angles on the same side are supplementary. This simply mean they add up to 180 degrees

thus, we have it that;

(6x + 3) + (x + 12.5) = 180

6x + x + 3 + 12.5 = 180

7x + 15.5 = 180

7x = 180-15.5

7x = 164.5

x = 164.5/7

x = 23.5
