Question
Note: Your teacher will grade your response to this question to ensure you receive proper credit for your answer. a. Find x. The figure is not drawn to scale. b. Is the triangle equilateral, isosceles, or scalene? Explain. • The angle shown between PQ outside of the circle is left-parenthesis 8x minus 10 right- parenthesis degrees. • The angle shown between PR outside of the circle is left-parenthesis 6x right-parenthesis degrees. • The angle shown between QR outside of the circle is left-parenthesis 10x plus 10 right- parenthesis degrees.

a. To find x, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. So, we have:
(8x - 10) + (6x) + (10x + 10) = 180
24x = 180
x = 7.5
b. To determine if the triangle is equilateral, isosceles, or scalene, we need to compare the side lengths. Since we do not have information about the side lengths in this question, we cannot determine if the triangle is equilateral, isosceles, or scalene based on the information provided.
(8x - 10) + (6x) + (10x + 10) = 180
24x = 180
x = 7.5
