In the diagram, $\overset{鈫�}{O B}$ bisects $鈭� A O C$ and $\overset{鈫�}{E C} 鈯� \overset{鈫�}{O D}$ .
Find the value of x.
$m 鈭� 1 = 2 x$ , $m 鈭� 2 = 6 x + 2$ .

The value of xis 11.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Observe the given diagram.

The given diagram is:

Step 2. Write the relation between the angles ∠1 and ∠2.

As, $\overset{鈫�}{E C} 鈯� \overset{鈫�}{O D}$ , therefore the lines EC and OD are perpendicular lines.

Therefore, by using the definition of perpendicular lines it can be said that the measures of the angle $鈭� D O E$ is $90 掳$ .

That implies, $m 鈭� D O E = 90 掳$ .

Now, by using the angle addition postulate it can be said that $m 鈭� D O E = m 鈭� 1 + m 鈭� 2$ .

Therefore, the relation between the angles 鈭�1 and 鈭�2 is:

$m 鈭� D O E = m 鈭� 1 + m 鈭� 2$

$90 = m 鈭� 1 + m 鈭� 2$

Step 3. Find the value of x.

As, $m 鈭� 1 + m 鈭� 2 = 90 掳$ , $m 鈭� 1 = 2 x$ and $m 鈭� 2 = 6 x + 2$ .

Therefore, the value of x is given by:

role="math" localid="1646589364482" $m 鈭� 1 + m 鈭� 2 = 90 掳$

$2 x + 6 x + 2 = 90 掳$

$8 x + 2 = 90 掳$

$8 x = 90 掳鈭� 2$

$8 x = 88 掳$

$x = \frac{88}{8}$

$x = 11$

Therefore, the value of x is 11.
