Answer:
15. [tex] x = 8 [/tex]
16. m<V = 103°
17. [tex] x = 14 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
15. The figure given is quadrilateral. Sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
Therefore:
[tex] (10x + 6) + (13x - 2) + (8x - 1) + (180 - 71) = 360 [/tex]
Solve for x
[tex] 10x + 6 + 13x - 2 + 8x - 1 + 109 = 360 [/tex]
Add like terms
[tex] 31x + 112 = 360 [/tex]
Subtract 112 from each side
[tex] 31x = 248 [/tex]
Divide both sides by 31
[tex] x = 8 [/tex]
16. The polygon is a hexagon. Sum of interior angles of a hexagon = 720. Therefore:
[tex] 90 + (7x + 3) + 128 + (5x + 8) + 111 + (9x - 19) = 720 [/tex]
Solve for x
[tex] 90 + 7x + 3 + 128 + 5x + 8 + 111 + 9x - 19 = 720 [/tex]
Add like terms
[tex] 321 + 21x = 720 [/tex]
Subtract 321 from each side
[tex] 21x = 399 [/tex]
Divide both sides by 21
[tex] x = 19 [/tex]
m<V = 5x + 8
Plug in the value of x
m<V = 5(19) + 8 = 95 + 8
m<V = 103
17. The polygon is a regular pentagon. This means each of the angles measures 108°. The sum of the interior angles all together is 540.
Therefore:
[tex] (9x - 18) = 108 [/tex]
Solve for x
[tex] 9x - 18 = 108 [/tex]
Add 18 to both sides
[tex] 9x = 126 [/tex]
Divide both sides by 9
[tex] x = 14 [/tex]
