Q. In △DEF,m∠D=(10x−13)∘,m∠E=(x−4)∘, and m∠F=(2x+15)∘. Find m∠E.Answer:
Recognize Triangle Angle Sum: Recognize that the sum of the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees.Using the angle sum property of triangles: m/_D+m/_E+m/_F=180 degrees
Substitute Given Expressions: Substitute the given expressions for m/D, m/E, and m/F into the angle sum equation.(10x−13)+(x−4)+(2x+15)=180
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.10x−13+x−4+2x+15=18013x−2=180
Add to Isolate Terms: Add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate the terms with x on one side.13x−2+2=180+213x=182
Divide to Solve for x: Divide both sides of the equation by 13 to solve for x.1313x=13182x=14
Substitute Value of x: Substitute the value of x back into the expression for m/_E to find the measure of angle E.m/_E=(x−4) degreesm/_E=(14−4) degreesm/_E=10 degrees
