Elena and Diego each wrote an equation to represent the following diagrams. Decide which equation you agree with. And, you must provide your explanations in order to receive the points. You need to solve the equation you agree with. Finally, you need to describe, in words, the process you would use to find the missing values. You can assume that angles that look like right angles are indeed right angles.

1. Elean: w+148=180 , Diego: x+90=148.

We know that angle BKC=148 degrees.

I agree with : ( Elena / Diego /Both of them) .

Because:

Describe, in words, the process you would use to find the missing values:

I agree with Elena. See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle is equal to 90 degrees.

A straight line is equal to 180 degrees.

Elena: w + 148 = 180

Elena's equation is correct because 148 degrees is represented by variable k. When adding variable k and w together, they form a straight line which is equiavlent to 180 degrees. By using this equation, Elena can solve for w after isolating the variable:

w + 148 = 180

w + 148 - 148 = 180 - 148

w = 32 degrees

Diego: x + 90 = 148

Diego is incorrect. He added 90 degrees because of the right angle, but he failed to realize that x is within 90 degrees, meaning he would either have to subtract x from 90 degrees or add both x and w to get to 90 degrees. He cannot solve for x or w by using this equation.

To solve for x, add both w and x to get 90 degrees. Since Elena showed us w equals 32 degrees, we can set up an equation:

w + x = 90

32 + x = 90

32 - 32 + x = 90 - 32

x = 58 degrees
