Answer:

k=10

Explanation:

First you would find the missing angle at the top this would be 65 degrees, this means that the 2 other missing angles must total to 115 degrees.

Second you would set the equations equal to 115

4k+5+6k+10=115

Then you would combine the like terms

10k+15=115

next you would subtract the 15 from both sides

10k=100

then you divide by 10

k=10

Hello!


\large\boxed{k = 10^(o)}

When given two interior angles and an exterior angle, the sum of the two interior angles is equal to the sum of the exterior angle. Therefore:

m∠YZX + m∠ZXY ≅ m∠MYZ

(4k + 5)° + (6k + 10)° = 115°

Combine like terms:

10k + 15 = 115°

Subtract 15 from both sides:

10k = 100°

Divide both sides by 10:

k = 10°
