1)
a----c----b
ac = 6x+2, cb = x+1, ab = 52
x = ____
ac = ____
- if e lies between b and c
then ____
- if d is in the interior of ∠abe
then ____
diagram: v, a on a horizontal ray, b on a ray below, c on a ray below b; m∠avc = 72°, m∠avb = 5x+5, m∠bvc = 8x+2
find x = ____
m∠avb = ____
m∠bvc = ____
Problem 1:
Step1: Set up the equation for segment addition
Since \( AC + CB = AB \), we have \( (6x + 2) + (x + 1) = 52 \).
Step2: Simplify and solve for \( x \)
Combine like terms: \( 7x + 3 = 52 \). Subtract 3 from both sides: \( 7x = 49 \). Divide by 7: \( x = 7 \).
Step3: Find \( AC \)
Substitute \( x = 7 \) into \( AC = 6x + 2 \): \( AC = 6(7) + 2 = 44 \).
If \( E \) lies between \( B \) and \( C \), then by the segment addition postulate, \( BE + EC = BC \) (or \( B - E - C \) collinear with \( BE + EC = BC \)).
Step1: Use angle addition postulate
Since \( D \) is in the interior of \( \angle ABE \), \( m\angle ABD + m\angle DBE = m\angle ABE \).
