Question
Suppose that EFG is isosceles with base FG.
Suppose also that
= m∠E + 4x 54°
and
= m∠F + 2x 31°.
Find the degree measure of each angle in the triangle.
EFG + 2x 31° + 4x 54°
Solution
It seems like there might be some confusion in the question, but I'll try to help as best as I can.
In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal. So, ∠E = ∠F.
Given that ∠E = 4x + 54° and ∠F = 2x + 31°, we can set these two equal to each other because ∠E = ∠F.
So, 4x + 54° = 2x + 31°
Solving this equation will give us the value of x.
Subtract 2x from both sides: 2x + 54° = 31°
Subtract 54° from both sides: 2x = -23°
Divide by 2: x = -23°/2 = -11.5°
However, x cannot be negative in this context, so there seems to be a mistake in the problem. Please check the problem and try again.
