Question

What is the value of k?

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

y = 180 - 115

y = 65

Total of angles in a triangle is 180

(4k + 5) + (6k + 10) + 65 = 180

combine like terms

10k + 80 = 180

Subtract 80 from both sides

10k = 100

Divide both sides by 10

k = 10

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

Top angle of tri:

180 - 115 =

65

So:

65+4K+5+6k+10 = 180 (angles in tri add to 180)

Solve:

80+10k = 180

10k = 100

K = 10
