Question

The measure of angle 6 =(11x +8) degrees and measure of angle 7(12x-4)degrees what is the measure of angle 4

40
48
132
140

Answer 1

Answer is m∠4=40

Explanation:

According to the image which i have posted below,we first want to take note that m∠6 & m∠7 are vertical angles. Vertical angles are equal to each other, therefore m∠6 is equal to m∠7.

m∠6 = m∠7 (vertical angles)

11x + 8 = 12x – 4

12x - 11x = 8 + 4

x = 12

so

m∠6 = 11x + 8

m∠6 = 11(12) + 8

m∠6 = 132 + 8

m∠6 = 140

m∠4 = 180 - m<6

m∠4 = 180 - 140

m∠4 = 40

Answer is m∠4=40....
