Question

Ray OQ bisects ∠𝑃𝑂𝑅. Find the value of x.

hintHint:

  • The angle whose measure is 90o is called a right angle.
  • Measure of straight angle is 180o.

The correct answer is: 11


    • Step by step explanation: 
      • Given:

    𝑚∠POQ = (x - 4) °  

    𝑚∠QOR = (5x - 20) °.

    • Step 1:
    • From the figure it is clear that,

    POR is right angle hence POR = 90o.
    and 

    POR = POQ + QOR 

    • Step 2:
    • Put values of ∠COD and ∠COP 

    ∠POR = ∠POQ + ∠QOR  

    90 = (x - 4) + (5x - 20)

    90 = 5x + x - (20 + 4)

    90 = 6x - 24

    6x = 90 - 24

    6x = 66

    x = 66 over 6

    x =  11

    • Final Answer:
    Hence, the x is 11.
