Question

if l and m are parallel and <16=4x+3 and <8=14x-3 calculate <1

51.92
41.92
56.58
43
none

Answer 1

why?

Answer 2

but that is all im given

Answer 3

none (additional information required)

Answer 4

To solve for <1 in this scenario, we would need additional information such as the positions of angles 1, 8, and 16, or the relationship between angle 1 and angles 8 and 16. Without this information, we cannot use the given angle measurements to calculate the value of angle 1.

Answer 5

My apologies, in that case, we can use the fact that angles 8 and 16 are corresponding angles since lines l and m are parallel. Corresponding angles are congruent, meaning they have the same measure.

Therefore, we can equate the given angle measurements:

<16 = <8 + <1
4x + 3 = 14x - 3 + <1
<1 = 11x + 6

Substituting x = 4, we get:

<1 = 50

None of the given answer options match this result.
