In the figure above, if AD is parallel to BC, then \(∠ADC = \)
A. 11°
B. 22°
C. 33°
D. 46°
E. 134°
Kudos for the right answer and explanation
First, since angles in a triangle must add to 180°, we can see that the missing angle in the red triangle must be
180° - (x + 44)° Simplify this measurement to get
(136 - x)° Finally, since AD is parallel to BC, we know that the two highlighted angles below must add to 180°.
So, we can write:
(136 - x)° + 2x° + 3x° = 180° Simplify:
136 + 4x = 180Subtract 136 from both sides: :
4x = 44Solve:
x = 11 Our goal is to find the measurement of ∠ADC
Since ∠ADC = 3x°, we can replace
x with
11 to get: ∠ADC = 3x° = 3(
11)° =
