Q. In △STU,m∠S=(4x+6)∘,m∠T=(4x−1)∘, and m∠U=(x+4)∘. What is the value of x ?Answer:
Triangle Angle Sum Equation: The sum of the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees. We can set up an equation with the given angle measures to find the value of x.
Add Angle Measures: Let's add up the measures of the angles and set them equal to 180 degrees:(4x+6)∘+(4x−1)∘+(x+4)∘=180∘.
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms: 4x+4x+x+6−1+4=180.
Simplify Equation: This simplifies to: 9x+9=180.
Isolate x Term: Subtract 9 from both sides to isolate the term with x: 9x=171.
Solve for x: Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x:x=9171.
Calculate x Value: Calculate the value of x:x=19.
