Q. Question 1 of 5Use the given information to find m∠PQW(Chapter 2)Find m∠PQW if m∠WQR=134x, m∠PQR=169∘, and m∠PQW=36x−1.
Identify Relationship: Identify the relationship between the angles.Since angles PQW, WQR, and PQR are connected and PQR is the full angle, we can say that m/PQR=m/PQW+m/WQR.
Substitute Given Values: Substitute the given values into the equation.m/PQR=169 degrees, m/WQR=134x, and m/PQW=36x−1.So, 169=(36x−1)+134x.
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms to solve for x.169=36x−1+134x169=170x−1
Add to Isolate Terms: Add 1 to both sides of the equation to isolate the terms with x. 169+1=170x−1+1170=170x
Divide to Solve for x: Divide both sides by 170 to solve for x.170170=170170x1=x
Substitute x Back: Substitute x back into the expression for m/PQW. m/PQW=36x−1m/PQW=36(1)−1m/PQW=36−1m/PQW=35
