Answer: (1) Measure of angle K = x degrees
(12) Measure of angle L = (5x) degrees
(3) Measure of angle k + Measure of angle L + Measure of angle N = 180 degrees
Step-by-step explanation: First of all, what we have is a triangle, and one of the properties of a triangle is all three angles add up to 180 degrees. This simply means that the addition of angles K and L and N would be equal to 180 degrees.
The question states that angle K is represented as x degrees, and angle L is 5 times the measure of angle K. Therefore, if K is x degrees, then L is 5 times x, which becomes 5x degrees. Also, angle N is given as 16 degrees less than 8 times the measure of angle K (x degrees). Eight times the measure of angle K is given as 8x. Sixteen degrees less than 8x would now become, 8x - 16 (degrees). Therefore, the angles have been derived as;
Angle K = x degrees
Angle L = 5x degrees
Angle N = 8x - 16 degrees
Having known that one of the properties of any triangle is all angles adding up to 180 degrees, we can now derive the following equation;
x + 5x + 8x - 16 = 180
14 x - 16 = 180
Add 16 to both sides of the equation
14x = 196
Divide both sides of the equation by 14
x = 14
Therefore, angle K = 14 degrees (x), angle L = 70 degrees (5x) and angle N = 96 degrees (8x - 16)
*14 + 70 + 96 = 180*
