Q. ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles. If m∠1=(2x+15)∘ and m∠2=(4x+9)∘, then find the measure of ∠1.Answer:
Set up equation: Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. We can set up an equation with the given expressions for m/angle 1 and m/angle 2 to find the value of x.m/angle 1+m/angle 2=180°(2x+15)°+(4x+9)°=180°
Combine like terms: Combine like terms to simplify the equation.2x+4x+15+9=1806x+24=180
Isolate x: Subtract 24 from both sides to isolate the term with x.6x+24−24=180−246x=156
Solve for x: Divide both sides by 6 to solve for x.66x=6156x=26
Find angle 1: Now that we have the value of x, we can find the measure of angle 1 by substituting x back into the expression for m/angle 1. m/angle 1=(2x+15)∘ m/angle 1=(2(26)+15)∘
Calculate angle 1: Calculate the value of m/angle 1.m/angle 1=(52+15)∘m/angle 1=67∘
