Question

Find the measure of angle B

Answer 1

∠B= 84

Explanation:

side AB is congruent to side AX

this means that the angle ∠A = 4x is the same angle as ∠Z

therefore ∠A = ∠Z = 4x

inside angle of a triangle = 180

∠A + ∠B + ∠Z = 180

4x + 7x + 4x = 180

15x = 180

x = 180/15

x = 12

now substitute x = 12 into angle B

∠B = 7x

∠B = 7 (12)

∠B = 84
