Solution:

Find the value of x and then the indicated angle measures.

25. If m∠PKR 140, m∠PKT = x + 20, m∠TKR = x - 10, find m∠PKT and m∠TKR?

Answer:

m∠PKT + m∠TKR = m∠PKR

  • (x - 10) + (x + 20) = 140

Solving for x,

  • x - 10 + x + 20 = 140
  • 2x + 10 = 140

subtract 10 from both sides,

  • 2x - 10 + 10 = 140 - 10
  • 2x = 130

Divide both sides by 2,

  • 2x/2 = 130/2
  • x = 65

Since,

m∠PKT = x + 20, m∠TKR = x - 10,

Substituting for x, we have

  • m∠PKT = 65 + 20
  • m∠PKT = 85°
  • m∠TKR = 65 - 10
  • m∠TKR = 55°

26. If OK bisects ∠POL and ∠POL = 4x-20, m∠POK = x+40, find m∠POL, m∠POK and m∠KOL.

Answer:

Here, OK bisects angle POL.

Angle bisector refers to a line that splits an angle into two equal angles. An bisector of an angle is a ray that divides an angle into two equal parts.

so,

  • m∠POK = m∠KOL
  • (x + 40) = (x + 40)°

Also,

m∠POK + m∠KOL = m∠POL

  • x + 40 + x + 40 = 4x - 20

Solving for x,

  • 2x + 80 = 4x - 20

Subtract 2x from both sides,

  • 2x - 2x + 80 = 4x - 20 - 2x
  • 80 = 2x - 20

add 20 on both sides,

  • 80 + 20 = 2x - 20 + 20
  • 100 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2,

  • x = 50

Since,

  • ∠POL = 4x - 20

Substituting for x, we have

  • ∠POL = 4x - 20
  • ∠POL = 4(50) - 20
  • ∠POL = 200 - 20
  • ∠POL = 180°

And, m∠KOL = m∠POK

Substituting for x, we have

  • m∠KOL = x + 40
  • m∠KOL = 50 + 40
  • m∠KOL = 90°
  • m∠POK = 90°

Answer:

25. x = 65, m∠TKR = 55°, m∠PKT = 85°

26. x = 50, m∠POL = 180°, m∠POK = 90°, m∠KOL = 90°

Explanation:

25.

We can see from the diagram that ∠PKR is made up of ∠TKR and ∠PKT. The question also tells us that m∠PKR = 140°. Therefore, we can set up the following equation and solve for x:

∠TKR + ∠PKT = ∠PKR


(x-10)^\circ + (x+20)^\circ = 140^\circ


x-10 + x+20 = 140 [Removing the brackets]


2x+10=140 [Combining like terms]


2x = 130 [Subtracting 10 from both sides of the equation]


x = (130)/(2) [Dividing both sides by 2]


x = \bf 65

Now that we have the value of x, we can simply substitute its value into the expressions for ∠TKR and ∠PKT to find their respective values:

m∠TKR = (x - 10)°

= (65 - 10)°

= 55°

m∠PKT = (x + 20)°

= (65 + 20)°

= 85°

26.

The question tells us that the line
\overrightarrow{OK} bisects ∠POL. This means the line
\overrightarrow{OK} halves the angle POL. This means that ∠POK and ∠KOL are two halves of the angle POL. Therefore, we can set up the following formula and solve for x:

m∠POK =
(1)/(2) (∠POL)


(x + 40)^\circ = (1)/(2) * (4x - 20)^\circ


x + 40 = 2x - 10


-x + 40 = -10 [Subtracting 2x from both sides]


-x = -50


x = \bf 50

Therefore, we can find the values of ∠POL, ∠POK and ∠KOL using this value x:

m∠POL = (4x - 20)°

= (4 × 50 - 20)°

= (200 - 20)°

= 180°

m∠POK = (x + 40)°

= (50 + 40)°

= 90°

∠POK and ∠KOL are equal as they are halves of ∠POL. Therefore,

m∠KOL = m∠POK = 90°
