Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

Question

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).

McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.4, Problem 29WE , additional homework tip 2

∠a+∠b=∠d

Triangle Sum Theorem states that Sum of interior angles of triangle adds up to 180 degrees

Calculation: Set up an equation based on the exterior angle theorem

90+x+2y=125

Subtract 90 and 2y on both sides to solve the equation for x 90+x+2y−90−2y=125−90−2y

Simplify and label it as 1^s^t equationx=35−2y

➧1^s^t equation

Use the Triangle Sum theorem which states that sum of interior angle of triangle add up to give 180 degrees.

90+2x+y+x+2y=180

Group like terms in left side of the equation

2x+x+y+2y+90=180

Combine like terms in left side of the equation

3x+3y+90=180

Subtract 90 on both sides

3x+3y+90-90=180-90

Combine like terms in both sides of the equation

3x+3y=90

Divide throughout by 3

3x3+3y3=903

Simplify fraction throughout the equation and label it as 2ⁿ^d equation

x+y=30 ➧2ⁿ^d equation

Substitute 1^s^t equation 35-2y for x in the 2ⁿ^d equation

35−2y+y=30

Combine like terms in left side of the equation

35−y=30

Subtract 35 on both sides of the equation

35−y-35=30-35

Combine like terms in both sides of the equation

−y=−5

Divide by -1 on both sides

−y-1=−5-1

Simplify fraction on both sides of the equation

y=5

Substitute 5 for y in 1^s^t equation to find the x value

x=35−2(5) =35−10 =25

Conclusion:

The value of x is 25° and the value of y is 5°
