QuestionGiven angles: B=30\angle B = 30^\circ, C=125\angle C = 125^\circ, find x+yx+y where A=y\angle A = y^\circ and D=x\angle D = x^\circ.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The line segment AB\overline{AB} is perpendicular to AD\overline{AD}, which means angle AA is a right angle and measures 9090^\circ. . Points AA, CC, and are collinear, which means they lie on the same line.
3. The measure of angle $B$ is $30^\circ$.
4. The measure of angle $A$ is $y^\circ$.
5. The measure of angle $C$ is $125^\circ$.
6. The measure of angle is xx^\circ.

STEP 2

Since AB\overline{AB} is perpendicular to AD\overline{AD}, the measure of angle AA is 9090^\circ. So, y=90y =90^\circ.

STEP 3

In triangle ABCABC, the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 180180^\circ. So, we have the equationB+A+C=180\angle B + \angle A + \angle C =180^\circ

STEP 4

Substitute the given values for the measures of angles BB, AA, and CC into the equation.
30+y+125=18030^\circ + y +125^\circ =180^\circ

STEP 5

implify the equation.
y+155=180y +155^\circ =180^\circ

STEP 6

Subtract 155155^\circ from both sides of the equation to solve for yy.
y=180155y =180^\circ -155^\circ

STEP 7

Calculate the value of yy.
y=25y =25^\circ

STEP 8

The measure of angle $$ is the same as the measure of angle $C$ because they are corresponding angles on a line. So, $x =125^\circ$.

STEP 9

Now that we have the values for xx and yy, we can find the sum x+yx + y.
x+y=125+25x + y =125^\circ +25^\circ

STEP 10

Calculate the sum x+yx + y.
x+y=150x + y =150^\circThe degree measure of x+yx + y is 150150^\circ.
