Ray UW is the angle bisector of AngleVUT.

Three lines extend from point U. They are lines U V, U W, and U T.
If mAngleVUW = (4x + 6)° and mAngleWUT = (6x – 10)°, what is the measure of AngleWUT?

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

Since UW is the angle bisector of ∠VUT, ∠VUW = ∠WUT

4x + 6 = 6x - 10

4x - 6x = -10 - 6

-2x = -16

x = 8

WUT = 6x - 10 = 6(8) - 10 = 48 - 10 = 38
