How do I find b,c and d? A is 108°

How Do I Find Bc And D A Is 108 class=

Sagot :

Answer:

b = 72

c = 36

d = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

As every angle in the pentagon are equal (the lines inside every angle mean they are equal), angles on a straight line must add up to 180° ∴

A = 108°

108 + b = 180

180 - 108 = b

72 = b

As the top left angle of the triangle is also on a straight line with one of these angles, the value of this angle is also 72°.

All angles in a triangle must add up to 180° ∴

72 + 72 + c = 180

144 + c = 180

c = 180 - 144

c = 36

Angles on a straight line must add to 180° ∴

d + c = 180

d + 36 = 180

d = 180 - 36

d = 144

Hope this helps!

Answer:

  • ∠B = 72°
  • ∠C = 36°
  • ∠D = 144°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must find the total amount of degrees in the pentagon shape.

  • => 180(n - 2)
  • => 180(5 - 2)
  • => 180(3)
  • => 540

Hence, the amount of degrees in the pentagon shape is 540°.

_________________________________________

You have stated that A is 108°.

Check:

  • => 540 ÷ 5
  • => 108°

Hence, it is proven that this pentagon is a regular pentagon. With that, we are given a clue to find ∠B.

  • => 180 = 108 + ∠B
  • => ∠B = 72

Hence, the value of ∠B is 72°

_________________________________________

Since ∠B is 72°, we know that the angle in the top left of the triangle is also 72. The triangles sum up-to 180°.

  • => 72 + 72 + c = 180°
  • => 144 + c = 180°
  • => ∠C = 36

Hence, the value of ∠C is 36°.

_________________________________________

We have got a clue, let's use that clue to solve ∠D.

  • => 180 = 36 + ∠D
  • => -36 + 180 = ∠D
  • => 144 = ∠D

Hence, the value of ∠D is 144°.
