Q. In △KLM,m∠K=(6x+4)∘,m∠L=(x+6)∘, and m∠M=(2x−1)∘. Find m∠M.Answer:
Triangle Angle Sum: In triangle KLM, the sum of the angles must equal 180 degrees. This is a fundamental property of triangles.Calculation: m/_K+m/_L+m/_M=180 degreesSubstitute the given expressions for m/_K and m/_L: (6x+4)+(x+6)+m/_M=180
Simplify Equation: Combine like terms to simplify the equation.Calculation: (6x+x)+(4+6)+Mm=1807x+10+Mm=180
Isolate Terms: Subtract 10 from both sides to isolate terms with x on one side and constants on the other.Calculation: 7x+Mm=180−107x+Mm=170
Substitute Expression: We know that m/M=(2x−1) degrees, so we can substitute this expression into our equation.Calculation: 7x+(2x−1)=170
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms to solve for x.Calculation: 7x+2x−1=1709x−1=170
Solve for x: Add 1 to both sides to isolate the term with x.Calculation: 9x=170+19x=171
Find Mm: Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x.Calculation: x=9171x=19
Final Calculation: Now that we have the value of x, we can find m/M by substituting x back into the expression for m/M. Calculation: m/M=(2x−1) m/M=(2×19−1) m/M=(38−1) m/M=37 degrees
