Find the measure of exterior angle tuv below .

Given:

m∠T = 61°

m∠S = 5x - 15

m ext∠TUV = 8x - 8

To find:

The measure of exterior angle TUV

Solution:

STU is a triangle.

By exterior angle of triangle property:

The measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

m ext∠TUV = m∠T + m∠S

8x - 8 = 61 + 5x - 15

8x - 8 = 46 + 5x

Add 8 on both sides.

8x - 8 + 8 = 46 + 5x + 8

8x = 54 + 5x

Subtract 5x from both sides.

8x - 5x = 54 + 5x - 5x

3x = 54

Divide by 3 on both sides.

x = 18

Substitute x = 18 in m ext∠TUV.

m ext∠TUV = 8(18) - 8

                   = 144 - 8

                   = 136

Therefore measure of exterior angle ∠TUV is 136°.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
