Question

Find m∠GHIm∠GHI if m∠GHI=14x+6m∠GHI=14x+6, m∠QHI=130∘m∠QHI=130∘, and m∠GHQ=3x−3m∠GHQ=3x−3.

Answer 1

m∠GHI = 160

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

m∠GHI = 14x + 6

m∠QHI = 130°

m∠GHQ = 3x – 3

m∠GHI =?

Next, we shall determine the value of x. This can be obtained as follow:

m∠GHI = m∠QHI + m∠GHQ

14x + 6 = 130 + (3x – 3)

14x + 6 = 130 + 3x – 3

Collect like terms

14x – 3x = 130 – 3 – 6

11x = 121

Divide both side by 11

x = 121 / 11

x = 11

Finally, we shall determine the value m∠GHI. This can be obtained as follow:

m∠GHI = 14x + 6

x = 11

m∠GHI = 14(11) + 6

m∠GHI = 154 + 6

m∠GHI = 160
