Chapter 1: Q11. (page 53)

In the triangle below, $x$ and $y$ are integers. If $25 < y < 30$ , what is one possible value of $x$ ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The one possible value of x is128.

Step by step solution

- Label the given diagram.

The labelled diagram is:

- Description of step.

The sum of the angles of a triangle is $180 掳$ .

Therefore, the sum of the angles $鈭� B A C$ , $鈭� A B C$ and $鈭� A C B$ in the triangle $螖 A B C$ is $180 掳$ .

Therefore, it can be obtained that:

$\begin{matrix} 鈭� B A C + 鈭� A B C + 鈭� A C B = 180 掳 \\ y 掳 + x 掳 + y 掳 = 180 掳 \\ (x + 2 y) 掳 = 180 掳 \\ 鈬� x + 2 y = 180 \end{matrix}$

- Description of step.

It is given that $25 < y < 30$ and y is an integer.

Therefore, one of the possible value of y is 26.

Now, find the value of x by substituting 26 for y into $x + 2 y = 180$ .

Therefore, it can be obtained that:

$\begin{matrix} x + 2 y = 180 \\ x + 2 (26) = 180 \\ x + 52 = 180 \\ x = 180 鈭� 52 \\ x = 128 \end{matrix}$

Therefore, the value of x is 128.

- Description of step.

Therefore, one of the possible value of x is 128.
