Question

2. Given parallelogram GMAR, if angle G = 2x + 11 and angle A = 5x - 37, calculate angle G.​

Answer 1

43 degrees

Explanation:

First, we set angle G and angle A equations equal to each other...

2x + 11= 5x - 37

Solve...

5x - 2x = 37 + 11

3x = 48

x= 48/3

x = 16

Now we plug 16 into x and solve G's equation...

G= 2x+11

G= 2(16)+11

G= 32 + 11

G = 43°

Answer 2

(a) is the answer as the eq formed will be

2x + 11= 5x - 37

5x - 2x = 37 + 11

3x = 48

x= 48/3

x = 16

Then G= 2x +11

G= 2× 16+11

G= 32 + 11

G = 43°
