if m<GEF = 2x + 10, m<DEF = 5x- 10, and m<GED = 70, find m<GEF and m<DEF

1 answer

no idea. If D is between G and F, then

GED+DEF=GEF, so

70+5x-10 = 2x+10
3x = -50
x = -17/3
Not likely.

If F is between D and G, then

DEF+GEF = GED
5x-10 + 2x+10 = 70
7x = 70
x = 10

DEF = 40
GEF = 30

Next time, describe the figure more clearly, eh?
