Answer:


m\angle AMC = 39\° and
m\angle DMC = 39\°.

Explanation:

As you can observe in the image attached, angles AMC and DMC are congruent, because if point C is the incenter of AMD, that means each line the forms such point is a bisector.

Remember that a bisector is a line that equally divides an angle.

So,


\angle AMC = \angle DMC\\3x+6=8x-49

Solving for
x, we have


6+49=8x-3x\\5x=55\\x=11

Then, we substitute this value in each expression to find the angles.


\angle AMC = 3x+6 = 3(11)+6=33+6=39


\angle DMC = 8(11)-49=88-49=39

Therefore, the measures of those angles are
m\angle AMC = 39\° and
m\angle DMC = 39\°.

If c is the incenter of AMD, AMC=3x+6 AND dmc = 8X-49, FIND EACH MEASURE-example-1
