In the diagram, m∠A=(4x−10)° and m∠D=(2x+22)° . What is the measure of ∠D ?

To find the measure of \( \angle D \), you'll need to set up an equation involving both angles \( \angle A \) and \( \angle D \) since they are expressed in terms of \( x \).

If you know that \( \angle A \) and \( \angle D \) are related in a specific way (such as supplementary or equal), you can use that information to solve for \( x \). However, without additional information, let's assume \( \angle A \) and \( \angle D \) are equal:

\[ m\angle A = m\angle D \]

This gives us the equation:

\[ 4x - 10 = 2x + 22 \]

Now, solve for \( x \):

  1. Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides:

\[ 4x - 2x - 10 = 22 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 2x - 10 = 22 \]

  1. Add 10 to both sides:

\[ 2x = 32 \]

  1. Divide both sides by 2:

\[ x = 16 \]

Now, substitute \( x \) back into the expression for \( m\angle D \):

\[ m\angle D = 2x + 22 = 2(16) + 22 = 32 + 22 = 54^\circ \]

Thus, the measure of \( \angle D \) is \( 54^\circ \).
