Question

Suppose that ∠DTJ lies on ∠DTM.

Part A: Sketch ∠DTJ on ∠DM.
Part B: If m∠DTJ = 20(x+2) and its supplement on ∠DM is equal to m∠DT, then determine the angle measure of ∠DTJ.
Part C: The angle formed by the angle bisector of its supplement is defined as an acute, obtuse, or right angle.

Answer 1

To determine the measure of ∠DTJ, use the supplement relationship with angle ∠DT and solve for x. Once x is found, calculate the angle's measure. The angle bisector of ∠DTJ's supplement creates a right angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Understanding Angle Relationships and Measures

The problem revolves around the angles within a geometric figure. Given that ∠DTJ lies on ∠DTM, and that ∠DTJ is 20(x+2) and its supplement is ∠DT, we need to solve for the value of x. Since an angle and its supplement sum to 180 degrees, we can set up the equation 20(x+2) + ∠DT = 180 to find x. Once that is completed, we can calculate the measure of ∠DTJ directly.

In part C, we are considering the angle formed by the bisector of the supplement of ∠DTJ. Since the bisector divides an angle into two equal parts, and considering that the original supplement was a straight angle (180 degrees), the bisected angle would be 90 degrees, making it a right angle.
