1. The answers to the power point questions from
Friday’s power point are on the following slides.
Copying these answers will not help you to
develop the skills needed for this unit. It is
necessary that you work through each problem
and attempt to answer the questions BEFORE
viewing the answers. These answers are
intended to be a checkpoint for your skill
development and should be used as such.
REMEMBER, I can’t pour the knowledge into
your brain nor can I magically give you the skills
you need to be successful in Geometry.
You have to struggle through and work to develop
the skills.

2. You Try: Finding the Measure of an Angle
KM bisects JKL, mJKM = (4x + 6)°, and mMKL = (7x – 12)°. Find mJKM.

3. (4x+6) (7x -12) Based on the definition of an angle bisector
<JKM and <MKL are congruent angles.
Therefore, 4x+6 = 7x – 12
6 = 3x -12
18 = 3x
6 = x
<JKM = 4 x + 6
= 4(6) + 6 =
<JKM = 30 o
(4x+6) o
(7x -12) o

5. <4 + <5 = 180
<4 + <3 = 180
<5 + <1+ <2 = 180
< 3 + <1 + <2 = 180
<1 + <2 =< 4
<3 = < 5
<1 = <2
<1 = ½ ( <4)
<2 = ½ ( < 4)

9. You Try:
Solve for X. Then find the measures of the angles.

10. Solve for X. Then find the measures of the angles.
You Try:
Solve for X. Then find the measures of the angles.
<ABC and < CBD are a linear pair so they are also supplementary. Therefore,
3x x -9 = 180
10x = 180
10x = 170
x = 17
<ABC = 3x + 19 = 3(17) +19 = = 70
<CBD = 7x – 9 = 7(17) – 9 = 119 – 9 = 110 o o

11. The following diagram shows an equilateral triangle
The following diagram shows an equilateral triangle. Find the value of X and Z in degrees and explain your thinking.

12. The following diagram shows an equilateral triangle
The following diagram shows an equilateral triangle. Find the value of X and Z in degrees and explain your thinking.
X and 60 are vertical angles therefore x = 60
Because the triangle is equilateral, all angles of
the triangle are 60 degrees. Z is also vertical
angles to an angle of the triangle so it is also
equal to 60 degrees

14. 2x + 6 is vertical to 100 angle therefore,
by the vertical angles theorem,
2x + 6 = 100
2x = 94
x = 47
2x + 6 = 2 ( 47) + 6 = 100 o o o o

15. The following diagram shows an isosceles triangle
The following diagram shows an isosceles triangle. Find the value of x in degrees.

16. The following diagram shows an isosceles triangle
The following diagram shows an isosceles triangle. Find the value of x in degrees.
Base angles of an isosceles triangle, therefore the other base angle is 75 degrees.
Angles that are a linear pair are supplementary, therefore the angle adjacent to the 75 degree angle must equal 105 degrees.
The linear pair of the 105 degree angle and the angle labeled x + 20 must be supplementary so….
105 + x + 20 = 180
x = 180
x = 55
105 75

18. By definition of vertical angles we know that 65 = y
By definition of a linear pair, we know that
X + 65 = 180 therefore x = 115
By definition of vertical angles we know that
X = Z therefore we know that Z = 115.

19. Find the measure of each angle in degrees.
