Question

28.)Find the value of x.320(3x-10°A.) x = 22.67B.) x = 34.67C.) x = 21.6D.) x = 24.25

Answer 1

Since the big triangle is an isosceles one, we conclude that the angles of the left triangle are: 32, 90 and 3x-10. Sinche the sum of this angles have to be 180° we have:

`(3x-10)+32+90=180`

Solving for x, we have:

`\begin{gathered} (3x-10)+32+90=180 \\ 3x-10+32+90=180 \\ 3x=180+10-90-32 \\ 3x=68 \\ x=(68)/(3) \\ x=22.67 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, x=22.67 and the answer is A.
