QUESTION: If Z is the incenter of (triangle shape)TUV, find m(triangle shape)ZTV . x =

m(triangle shape)ZTV = _ degrees

Solution :

It is given that Z is the incenter

So, we get from the figure

⇒

⇒ x = 5

So,

We have to find ∠ ZTU.

In Δ UTV,

∠ TUV + ∠ UTV + ∠ TVU = 180°

⇒ (2 x 21°) + ∠ UTV + (2 x 26°) = 180°

⇒ ∠ UTV  = 180° - 52° - 42°

                = 86°

So,

Therefore, m ∠ ZTU = 43°

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
