In ABCD, if BC BD, m/B = (13x-35), m2C = (5x-19), and m2D = (2x+14)", find x and the

measure
of each angle.

Ignore the writing I need 12,13, and 14 but if you want you can just do one

The final Answere is Angles B & C: 41.5°, Angle D: 95°.


∆BCD is isosceles (BC = BD), the measures of ∠B and ∠C are equal. We can let x represent the measure of each of these angles.

We are given that the measure of ∠D = 2x + 14°.

The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180°, so we can write the equation:

x + x + (2x + 14°) = 180°

Combining like terms, we get:

4x + 14° = 180°

Subtracting 14° from both sides, we get:

4x = 166°

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

x = 41.5°

Therefore, the measure of ∠B and ∠C is 41.5° each, and the measure of ∠D is 2(41.5°) + 14° = 95°.

So the answer is:

x = 41.5°

∠B = 41.5°

∠C = 41.5°

∠D = 95°

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
