class work: monday 9/8/25
- 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, b, c; ∠avc=72°, ∠aub=5x+5, ∠bvc=8x+2) find x=__, m∠aub=, m∠bvc=__
Problem 1: Segment Lengths
Step1: Set up the equation
Since \( AC + CB = AB \), we have \( (6x + 2) + (x + 1) = 52 \).
Simplify: \( 7x + 3 = 52 \).
Step2: Solve for \( x \)
Subtract 3 from both sides: \( 7x = 52 - 3 = 49 \).
Divide by 7: \( x = \frac{49}{7} = 7 \).
Step3: Find \( AC \)
Substitute \( x = 7 \) into \( AC = 6x + 2 \): \( AC = 6(7) + 2 = 42 + 2 = 44 \).
If \( E \) lies between \( B \) and \( C \), then by the segment addition postulate, \( BE + EC = BC \) (or \( BB + EC = BC \) if there's a typo, but likely \( BE + EC = BC \)).
Step1: Set up the angle equation
Since \( \angle AUB + \angle BVC = \angle AVC \), we have \( (5x + 5) + (8x + 2) = 72 \).
Simplify: \( 13x + 7 = 72 \).
Step2: Solve for \( x \)
Subtract 7: \( 13x = 72 - 7 = 65 \).
Divide by 13: \( x = \frac{65}{13} = 5 \).
Step3: Find \( m\angle AUB \)
Substitute \( x = 5 \): \( 5(5) + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30^\circ \).
Step4: Find \( m\angle BVC \)
Substitute \( x = 5 \): \( 8(5) + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42^\circ \).
