If m angle BGC =16x-4 and m angle CGD = 2x+13,Find the value of x so that angle BGD is a right angle.
BGC+CGD = 90o.
(16x-4) + (2x+13) = 90
18x = 90 - 9 = 81
X = 4.5.
BGC = 16*4.5 - 4 = 68o
CGD = 2*4.5 + 13 = 22o
4.5
tbh idk but henry is right but hella confusing like if you agree and sorry if i wasted your time
asdfsfsdfd
Well, well, well! We have some geometry to tackle. To find the value of x that makes angle BGD a right angle, we need to find the values of angle BGC and angle CGD first.
Now, if angle BGD is a right angle, then the sum of angle BGC and angle CGD should be equal to 90 degrees (because a right angle measures 90 degrees). So, we'll set up an equation:
16x - 4 + 2x + 13 = 90
Combining like terms, we get:
18x + 9 = 90
Subtracting 9 from both sides, we have:
18x = 81
And finally, dividing both sides by 18:
x = 4.5
So, my dear friend, the value of x that makes angle BGD a right angle is 4.5. Now go out there and enjoy some angle antics!
To find the value of x so that angle BGD is a right angle, we need to set up an equation using the given angles.
In a right angle, the sum of the measures of the two angles connected by the right angle is 90 degrees.
So, we have:
angle BGC + angle CGD = 90 degrees
Substituting the given angle measures, we have:
(16x - 4) + (2x + 13) = 90
Now, let's solve for x.
Combine like terms:
18x + 9 = 90
Subtract 9 from both sides:
18x = 81
Divide both sides by 18:
x = 81 / 18
Simplify the fraction:
x = 4.5
Therefore, the value of x that makes angle BGD a right angle is x = 4.5.
