Can anyone help me solve for x and z?
Answer:
[tex]z=72\degree[/tex]
[tex]x=6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]z=72\degree[/tex], vertically opposite angles are equal.
The sum of adjacent angles on a straight line is 180 degrees.
[tex](10x+48)\degree +72\degree =180\degree[/tex]
Solve for x.
[tex]10x+120\degree =180\degree[/tex]
[tex]10x =180\degree-120\degree[/tex]
[tex]10x =60\degree[/tex]
[tex]x =6[/tex]
Answer:
x = 6
Z = 72°
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertically opposite angles are equal.
Sum of angles in a linear pair are supplementary ( sum = 180°)
From the figure we can see a vertically opposite angles.
To find the value of x
From figure we get,
72 + (10x + 48 ) = 180 (linear pair)
72 + 10x + 48 = 180
10x + 120 = 180
10x = 180 - 120 = 60
x = 60/10 = 6
x = 6
To find the value of z
From figure we get Z = 72°
(Since 72 and Z are vertically opposite angles)
