in the triangle to the right, the measure of A equals the measure of B. find the value of x.

A = 45 degrees

B = (4x + 1) degrees

1 answer

Since it is given that the measure of A equals the measure of B, we can set up the equation:

A = B
45 = 4x + 1

Solving for x:

4x = 45 - 1
4x = 44
x = 44/4
x = 11

Therefore, the value of x is 11 degrees.
