Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. OGundefined\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OG}} bisects DO\angle D O . m1=6x+41m \angle1=6 x+41
3. m=9x1m \angle=9 x-1

STEP 2

Since OGundefined\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OG}} bisects DO\angle D O, we know that m1=m2m \angle1 = m \angle2. So we can set the two expressions for m1m \angle1 and m2m \angle2 equal to each other and solve for xx.
6x+41=9x16x +41 =9x -1

STEP 3

To solve for xx, we first move all terms involving xx to one side of the equation and the constants to the other side.
9x6x=41+19x -6x =41 +1

STEP 4

implify the equation.
3x=423x =42

STEP 5

Divide both sides of the equation by3 to solve for xx.
x=42/3x =42 /3

STEP 6

Calculate the value of xx.
x=42/3=14x =42 /3 =14

STEP 7

Now that we have the value of xx, we can substitute it back into the expression for m1m \angle1 or m2m \angle2 to find the measure of each angle.
m1=6x+41m \angle1 =6x +41

STEP 8

Substitute x=14x =14 into the equation.
m1=6(14)+41m \angle1 =6(14) +41

STEP 9

Calculate the value of mm \angle.
m=6(14)+41=84+41=125m \angle =6(14) +41 =84 +41 =125

STEP 10

Since OGundefined\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OG}} bisects DO\angle D O, the measure of DO\angle D O is twice the measure of mm \angle.
mDO=2×mm \angle D O =2 \times m \angle

STEP 11

Substitute m=125m \angle =125 into the equation.
mDO=×125m \angle D O = \times125

STEP 12

Calculate the measure of DO\angle D O.
mDO=2×125=250m \angle D O =2 \times125 =250The measure of DO\angle D O is250 degrees.
