Question

Pls help! Step by step

Answer 1

x = 55

Explanation:

Since the sides of the shape are parallel, AngleC and AngleD will add up to 180° (see "parallel lines cut by a transversal" or maybe you have learned a big pile of parallelogram theorems)

Use this relationship to set up an equation.

2x + 20 + 50 = 180

combine like terms

2x + 70 = 180

subtract 70

2x = 110

divide by 2

x = 110/2

x = 55

x is 55

Answer 2

The value of x is 55°

Explanation:

Givien

• Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are (2x + 20)° and 50° respectively

Since we know that opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal

• m∠C = m∠B = (2x + 20)°
• m∠D = m∠A = 50°

The sum of any two adjacent angles is supplementary. This means, ∠A + ∠B = 180°, ∠B + ∠C = 180°, ∠C + ∠D = 180°, and ∠D + ∠A = 180.

So,

∠C + ∠D = 180°

(2x + 20)° + 50° = 180°

2x + 70° = 180°

2x + 70° - 70° = 180° - 70°

2x = 110°

2x/2 = 110°

x = 55°

Thus, The value of x is 55°
