Find Angle M And Angle N class=

Sagot :

Answer:

m∠M = 79°

m∠N = 66°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠MPN is supplementary to ∠MPQ, so m∠MPN = 35

The sum of the measures of a triangle is 180.

So, m∠M + m∠N + m∠MPN = 180

5y + 4 + 4y + 6 + 35 = 180

9y + 45 = 180

9y = 135

y = 15

m∠M = 5y + 4 = 5(15) + 4 = 75 + 4 = 79

m∠N = 4y + 6 = 4(15) + 6 = 66

Another way to do this problem, which is easier, is to know that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.

That means 5y + 4 + 4y + 6 = 145

                      9y + 10 = 145

                      9y = 135

                         y = 15

From knowing the value of y you can now find the measures of angles M and N
