Answer:

Are you in geometry?

For question 5:

To solve for x:

Triangle to the right with the 72 degrees in one angle.

All triangles add up to 180.

Subtact 72 from 180 = 108

Now we need to find the two other angles of that triangle.

We know that the two given eqations for that triangle is 6x-2 and 11x-9 (remeber the property creating the area of intersection, two congruent angles, so the equation 11x-9 applys for both triangles.)

So for the triangle to the right;

(6x-2) + (11x-9) = 108

lets add like terms next

17x - 11 = 108

add 11 to 108

17x = 119

divide 17 from both sides

x = 7

Now we need to find y.

On triangle to the right we have 30degrees. Lets subtract 30 degrees from 180. This equals 150.

We can plug in 7 to the equation 11x-9 which give us 68.

We now know to angles of the triangle. Lets subtract 68 from 150.

We get 82.

The last angle is 82, Which means lets find y.

5y - 8 = 82

add 8 to both sides

5y = 90

divide by 5 to both sides

y = 18

try number 6. on your own to see if you get it know. If you don't, comment to me regarding what you don't understand.
