Q. ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles. If m∠1=(7x−2)∘ and m∠2=(4x+28)∘, 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 degrees(7x−2)+(4x+28)=180
Combine like terms: Combine like terms to simplify the equation.7x+4x−2+28=18011x+26=180
Isolate x: Subtract 26 from both sides to isolate the term with x.11x+26−26=180−2611x=154
Solve for x: Divide both sides by 11 to solve for x.1111x=11154x=14
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=7x−2m/angle 1=7(14)−2
Calculate angle 1: Calculate the value of m/angle 1.m/angle 1=98−2m/angle 1=96 degrees
