Question

If mUV =( 8x-17) and mWV =(5x+52) find mWV

Answer 1

Oh this is easy equation is (5x,±52) = (8x±17) first u want to add 52 and 17 to get 69 then 8x subtracted by 5x to get 3x then divide 3 by 69 to get 23

Answer 2

mWV = 167°

Explanation:

In the figure attached the graph of the problem is shown. Given that segments UV and WV are congruent, then arcs UV and WV are also congruent. So:

mUV = mWV

8x - 17 = 5x + 52

8x - 5x = 52 + 17

3x = 69

x = 69/3

x = 23

Therefore:

mWV = 5*23 + 52 = 167°
