Answer:
Explanation:
If MQ also bisects angle ∠LMP, then;
<LMQ + <QMP = <LMP
Also <LMQ = <QMP
The equation becomes <QMP + <QMP = <LMP
2<QMP = <LMP
Let <LMP be 8x+40° (This is an assumed value)
2(5x+10) = 8x+40
Open the parenthesis
10x+20 = 8x+40
10x-8x = 40-20
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10
Find <QMP
Since <QMP = 5x+10
<QMP = 5(10)+10
<QMP = 50+10
<QMP = 60 degrees
Note that the angle <LMP was assumed. Any other function can be used depending on the question
