Math Example--Solving Equations--Solving Equations Using Triangle Properties: Example 1 | Solving Equations Using Triangle Properties: Example 1TopicEquations DescriptionThis example focuses on solving equations using the properties of similar isosceles triangles. Isosceles triangles are characterized by having two equal sides and two equal base angles. In this case, we have two similar isosceles triangles, which means they share the same shape but may differ in size. The equation to be solved involves finding the unknown angle x, given that one of the angles is 20°. The property of vertical angles tells us that the angle vertical to the 20° angle is also 20° |

The problem presents two parallel lines intersected by two transversals that also form a triangle. We are given that one angle measures 120° and the corresponding angle can be expressed as (y + 40)°. The goal is to determine the value of y using the properties of angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal.

Math Example--Solving Equations--Solving Equations Using Triangle Properties: Example 4 | Solving Equations Using Triangle Properties: Example 4TopicEquations DescriptionThis example demonstrates solving equations using the Exterior Angle Theorem in the context of parallel lines cut by a transversal, two crucial concepts in geometry. The problem presents a triangle with two known interior angles of 80° and y, and an unknown exterior angle x°. We are also given that 80 - y = 50, which simplifies to y = 30. The goal is to determine the value of x using the properties of triangles and the Exterior Angle Theorem. The Exterior Angle Theorem states that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles. Wo we get x = 80 + 30, or x = 110. |

We are presented with two equations: x + y = 75 and z + y = 110, where x, y, and z represent angles in the triangle The goal is to solve this system of equations to find the values of x, y, and z, utilizing properties of isosceles triangles. Since each of the triangles is isosceles, we know that z + 55 + 55 = 180 and therefore, z = 70°. We substitute this into one of the equations: 70 + y = 110 7 = 40° |
