Question

1. The measure of angle GHI is 120° Angle GHI is cut in half with ray HK, if angle

GHK is 3x + 48what is the value of x?

Answer 1

The value of x = 4

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the value of the angle x

Here the ray cuts the angle into half.

Since the total of the angle was 120, half of this would be 120/2 = 60

Now, it is this value of 60, that our new angle equals to

Mathematically;

3x + 48 = 60

3x = 60-48

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4
