Question
Answer:
Answer:x=27°Step-by-step explanation:we know thatThe Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem, states that: An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior anglesstep 1Find the measure of angle PLMwe know thatm∠PLM+m∠LPM=m∠PMN ----> by Triangle Exterior Angle Theoremwe havem∠LPM=x°m∠PMN=2x+72°substitutem∠PLM+x=2x+72°m∠PLM=2x-x+72°m∠PLM=x+72°step 2Find the measure of angle xwe know that3x+m∠PLM=180° ----> by supplementary angles (form a linear pair)we havem∠PLM=x+72° (see step 1)substitute3x+x+72°=180°4x=180°-72°4x=108°x=27°
