QuestionIf BDBD bisects ABC\angle ABC, find mABDm \angle ABD, mCBDm \angle CBD, and mABCm \angle ABC with mABC=(25x+34)m \angle ABC = (25x+34)^\circ and mCBD=(11x+22)m \angle CBD = (11x+22)^\circ.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Line segment BDBD bisects ABC\angle ABC. . The measure of ABC=(25x+34)\angle ABC = (25x+34)^\circ.
3. The measure of CBD=(11x+22)\angle CBD = (11x+22)^\circ.

STEP 2

Since BDBD bisects ABC\angle ABC, the measure of ABD\angle ABD is equal to the measure of CBD\angle CBD. We can set up the equationmABD=mCBDm \angle ABD = m \angle CBD

STEP 3

Substitute the given expressions for mABDm \angle ABD and mCBDm \angle CBD into the equation(25x+34)=(11x+22)(25x+34)^\circ = (11x+22)^\circ

STEP 4

olve for xx by subtracting 11x11x from both sides of the equation14x+34=2214x +34 =22

STEP 5

Subtract 3434 from both sides of the equation14x=1214x = -12

STEP 6

Divide both sides of the equation by 1414 to solve for xxx=1214=6x = -\frac{12}{14} = -\frac{6}{}

STEP 7

Now that we have the value of xx, we can substitute it back into the expressions for mABDm \angle ABD and mCBDm \angle CBD to find their measuresmABD=25(67)+34=1507+34=867=12.29m \angle ABD =25(-\frac{6}{7}) +34 = -\frac{150}{7} +34 = -\frac{86}{7} = -12.29^\circmCBD=11(67)+22=667+22=447=6.29m \angle CBD =11(-\frac{6}{7}) +22 = -\frac{66}{7} +22 = -\frac{44}{7} = -6.29^\circ

STEP 8

The measures of ABD\angle ABD and CBD\angle CBD are negative, which is not possible for an angle measure. This means that there is no solution for the given problem.
