Answer:
m<6 = 54°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Here, (13x+9)° and <6 are vertically opposite on each side.So,they are equal.
By alternate angle theorem,4 and 5 makes "Z" angle on each side, where a is the transversal,so they are equal.
By linear pair theorem,on a straight line, two angles formed by a transversal cutting the line in two parts' sum equals to 180°.
- Here, <5 and (5x+9)° addition makes 180°
But <5 = (13x+9)°
So:
- <5 + (5x+9)° = 180
- (13x+9)° + (5x+9)° = 180
Solve for x now:
- 18x +18 = 180 ... Combine terms
- 18(x+1) = 180 ... Take 18 common
- x+1 = 180/18 ... Divide both sides by 18
- x = 10 -1 = 9 ... Subtract 1 from both sides
We're required to find <6,i.e (5x+9)°[See above]
- m<6 = 5*9 + 9 = 45+9 = 54°
