The railing of a wheelchair ramp is parallel to the ramp. Find x and y in the diagram.

Given:

The wheel chair ramp is parallel to the ramp.

To find:

The value of x and y.

Solution:

If two lines are parallel, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

4x° + 6y° = 86° (1)

Similarly,

5x° + 6y° = 94°

Subtract 5x° from both sides.

5x° + 6y° - 5x° = 94° - 5x°

6y° = 94° - 5x° (2)

Substitute (2) in (1).

4x° + 94° - 5x° = 86°

94° - x° = 86°

Subract 94° on both sides.

94° - x° - 94° = 86° - 94°

- x° = 86° - 94°

- x° = -8°

Multiply by -1 on both sides, we get

x = 8

Substitute x = 8 in (2).

6y° = 94° - 5(8)°

6y° = 54°

Divide by 6 on both sides, we get

y = 6

The value of x is 8 and y is 6.

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5

the highest percentage for deaths in construction from highest to lowest is as follows: falls, struck by objects, electrocution, and caught-in/between. these four are collectively known as fatal four.

in the case of falls, the type that is responsible for the overall highest death in the category is falls from roofs.
