Question

Find the m ∠CVU. Show your work

Answer 1

An outside angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite inside angles:

3x = 63 + x + 13

Simplify:

3x = x + 76

Subtract 1x from both sides:

2x = 76

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 76/2 = 38

Now replace x with 38 and solve for CVU:

CVU = 3x

CVU = 3(38)

CVU = 114 degrees.
