Question

Ray UW is the angle bisector of VUT.

If mVUW = (4x + 6)° and mWUT = (6x – 10)°, what is the measure of WUT?
32°
38°
48°
76°

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

38

Answer 2

In the question "Ray UW is the angle bisector of VUT. If mVUW = (4x + 6)° and mWUT = (6x – 10)°, what is the measure of WUT?" It was given that UW is the angle bisector of VUT, which means that mVUW = mWUT. i.e. 4x + 6 = 6x - 10 6x - 4x = 6 + 10 2x = 16 x = 8 Therefore, the measure of WUT = 6x - 10 = 6(8) - 10 = 48 - 10 = 38
