Answer:
The measure of angle ABT is 28°
Explanation:
* Lets revise the bisector of a angle
- If a ray bisects and angle that mean the ray divide the angle into
two equal parts in measure
- Ex: if the ray BD bisects angle ABC, then the measure of angle ABD is
equal to the measure of angle CBD
* Lets solve the problem
∵ BT bisects ∠ABC
∴ m∠ABT = m∠CBT
∵ m∠ABT = 4x - 16
∵ m∠CBT = 2x + 6
- Equate the two values
∴ 4x - 16 = 2x + 6
- Lets solve the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides and
adding 16 to both sides
∴ 4x - 2x = 6 + 16
∴ 2x = 22 ⇒ divide both sides by 2
∴ x = 11
- Lets find the measure of angle ABT
∵ m∠ABT = 4x - 16
- Substitute x by 11
∴ m∠ABT = 4(11) - 16 = 44 - 16 = 28°
* The measure of angle ABT is 28°
