Problems 4–6: Use the Angle Addition Postulate



#### Problem 4: m∠FDC = ?
- Diagram: Point D is common; rays DC, DA, DF.
- Given:
- ∠CDA = 27°
- ∠ADF = 73°

We are to find m∠FDC, which is the total angle from F to C through D.

But wait — if D is the vertex and the rays are arranged as:
- From D → C (27°)
- Then from D → A (73°), but that seems inconsistent.

Wait — let's interpret carefully.

Actually, since ∠CDA = 27° and ∠ADF = 73°, and they appear adjacent at point D, likely:

- ∠FDC = ∠FDA + ∠ADC? Or maybe ∠FDC is composed of two parts?

Wait — perhaps the diagram shows:
- Ray DC, then ray DA, then ray DF, forming angles at D.

But more likely: The angle ∠FDC is made up of two adjacent angles:
- ∠FDA = 73°
- ∠ADC = 27°

So if point A lies between F and C, then:
> ∠FDC = ∠FDA + ∠ADC = 73° + 27° = 100°

Answer: m∠FDC = 100°

---

#### Problem 5: m∠CDE = ?
- Diagram: Point D, with rays DE, DF, DC.
- Given:
- ∠EDF = 83°
- ∠FDC = 48°

Assuming these angles are adjacent and form ∠CDE:
- So, ∠CDE = ∠CDF + ∠FDE = 48° + 83° = 131°

Answer: m∠CDE = 131°

---

#### Problem 6: m∠XYZ = ?
- Diagram: Point Y, with rays YX, YW, YZ.
- Given:
- ∠XYW = 25°
- ∠WYZ = 34°

These two angles are adjacent and together make ∠XYZ:
> ∠XYZ = ∠XYW + ∠WYZ = 25° + 34° = 59°

Answer: m∠XYZ = 59°

Problems 7–8: BD bisects ∠ABC. Find x.



#### Problem 7:
- BD bisects ∠ABC.
- Two expressions for the two equal halves:
- One side: $2x - 1$
- Other side: $x - 18$

Since BD is the angle bisector, both angles must be equal:
$$
2x - 1 = x - 18
$$

Solve:
$$
2x - x = -18 + 1 \\
x = -17
$$

Wait — negative angle measure? That doesn't make sense.

Double-check: Is it possible that the expressions are reversed?

Maybe the two parts are:
- $2x - 1$ and $x - 18$, but they are not equal unless x is negative.

But angle measures must be positive. So likely there's a typo in interpretation.

Wait — perhaps the full angle is split into:
- One part: $2x - 1$
- Other part: $x - 18$

But since it’s a bisector, they should be equal:
$$
2x - 1 = x - 18 \Rightarrow x = -17
$$

Still invalid.

Alternatively, maybe the expressions are for the two parts, but perhaps it's:
- One half: $2x - 1$
- Other half: $x - 18$

But again, they must be equal.

Unless... maybe the entire angle is split, but the expressions are not both halves.

Wait — look again.

Possibly, the diagram has:
- ∠ABD = $2x - 1$
- ∠DBC = $x - 18$

And since BD bisects ∠ABC, then:
$$
2x - 1 = x - 18
\Rightarrow x = -17
$$

Still impossible.

So either the problem has a typo, or we misread.

Wait — could it be that the expressions are not the two halves, but rather:
- ∠ABD = $2x - 1$
- ∠DBC = $x - 18$

Then:
$$
2x - 1 = x - 18 \Rightarrow x = -17
$$

No.

Alternative idea: Maybe the two expressions are for adjacent angles, but not necessarily equal.

Wait — no, BD bisects ∠ABC, so the two angles must be equal.

So unless the labels are switched, this can't work.

Wait — perhaps the diagram shows:
- One angle: $2x - 1$
- Other: $x - 18$

But if they are equal, then $2x - 1 = x - 18$ → $x = -17$

Invalid.

So maybe the correct equation is:
$$
2x - 1 = x - 18
\Rightarrow x = -17
$$

Not valid.

Wait — perhaps it's:
- $2x - 1$ and $x + 18$?

Or maybe it's a typo and it's supposed to be:
- $2x - 1$ and $x + 18$?

Then:
$$
2x - 1 = x + 18 \Rightarrow x = 19
$$

Then check:
- 2(19) - 1 = 37
- 19 + 18 = 37 → OK

But in your text, it says: “2x - 1” and “x - 18”

Hmm.

Wait — maybe the second expression is 18 - x? But that would be even worse.

Alternatively, perhaps the two angles are:
- $2x - 1$ and $x - 18$, and they are not equal, but their sum is the whole angle?

But no — the bisector means the two parts are equal.

So unless the problem is miswritten, this is problematic.

Wait — perhaps the expressions are for the same angle, but labeled differently.

Wait — looking back at your original text:

> 7. $ \overrightarrow{BD} $ bisects $ \angle ABC $. Find the value of $ x $.
> Diagram: B → A, B → D, B → C
> Angles: $ \angle ABD = 2x - 1 $, $ \angle DBC = x - 18 $

Then:
$$
2x - 1 = x - 18 \\
\Rightarrow x = -17
$$

This gives negative angles:
- $2(-17) - 1 = -35$, which is invalid.

So this must be a typo.

Likely, the second expression is $x + 18$ or $18 - x$?

Alternatively, maybe it's $1x + 18$?

Let’s suppose it's $x + 18$. Then:
$$
2x - 1 = x + 18 \\
x = 19
$$

Then:
- $2(19) - 1 = 37$
- $19 + 18 = 37$ → valid.

So likely the problem meant $x + 18$, not $x - 18$.

But since you wrote $x - 18$, I’ll assume it's a typo.

Assuming typo: $x + 18$ instead of $x - 18$
Then:
$$
2x - 1 = x + 18 \Rightarrow x = 19
$$

But without confirmation, we can’t be sure.

Wait — maybe the sum is given?

No, the bisector means the two parts are equal.

So unless the diagram shows something else, this problem has no valid solution as written.

Let’s move to Problem 8.

---

#### Problem 8: BD bisects ∠ABC. Find x.
- Diagram: Triangle ABC, with point D on AC, and BD drawn.
- Given:
- ∠ABD = $5x + 10^\circ$
- ∠DBC = $x$

Since BD bisects ∠ABC, then:
$$
\angle ABD = \angle DBC
\Rightarrow 5x + 10 = x
$$

Solve:
$$
5x - x = -10 \Rightarrow 4x = -10 \Rightarrow x = -2.5
$$

Again, negative — invalid.

So this also cannot be.

Wait — is it possible that the other angle is $5x + 10$, and the other is $x$, and they are equal?

Then $5x + 10 = x \Rightarrow x = -2.5$ — still invalid.

So again, likely a typo.

Perhaps it's:
- ∠ABD = $5x + 10$
- ∠DBC = $3x$ or something?

Or maybe the total angle is given?

Wait — perhaps the diagram shows:
- ∠ABD = $5x + 10$
- ∠DBC = $x$
- And BD bisects ∠ABC → so they should be equal

But again, $5x + 10 = x$ → $x = -2.5$

Impossible.

So either:
- The expressions are swapped, or
- It's not a bisector, or
- There's a typo.

Wait — maybe it's:
- ∠ABD = $5x + 10$
- ∠DBC = $3x$
Then set equal:
$$
5x + 10 = 3x \Rightarrow 2x = -10 \Rightarrow x = -5
$$

Still bad.

Wait — maybe the sum is known?

No, only two expressions.

Alternatively, perhaps the whole angle is $5x + 10$, and one part is $x$, and it's bisected?

No — if BD bisects, then both parts are equal.

So unless the expressions are for the same angle, but that doesn't make sense.

Wait — perhaps the diagram shows:
- ∠ABD = $5x + 10$
- ∠DBC = $x$
- And BD bisects ∠ABC → so they must be equal

So:
$$
5x + 10 = x \Rightarrow x = -2.5
$$

No.

So either the problem is misprinted, or I’m misreading.

Wait — perhaps it's:
- ∠ABD = $5x + 10$
- ∠DBC = $x$
- But BD is NOT the bisector?

But the problem says "BD bisects ∠ABC"

So unless the labels are wrong...

Alternatively, maybe the expressions are:
- ∠ABD = $5x + 10$
- ∠DBC = $x$
- And the whole angle is given?

But it’s not.

So likely, the problem intends:
- $5x + 10 = x + k$, but we don’t know.

Wait — perhaps it's:
- ∠ABD = $5x + 10$
- ∠DBC = $x$
- And they are equal → $5x + 10 = x$ → $x = -2.5$ → invalid

So no valid solution unless there's a typo.

Common typo: Maybe it's $5x + 10$ and $3x + 10$?

Then:
$$
5x + 10 = 3x + 10 \Rightarrow 2x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0
$$

Then angles = 10°, valid.

But not matching.

Or maybe:
- ∠ABD = $5x + 10$
- ∠DBC = $x + 10$

Then:
$$
5x + 10 = x + 10 \Rightarrow 4x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0
$$

Angles = 10°, valid.

But again, not what's written.

Given the issues, perhaps you can double-check the expressions.

But let's move to Problems 15–17, which are clearer.

Problems 15–17: BT bisects ∠ABC. Find x



#### Problem 15:
- BT bisects ∠ABC
- ∠ABT = $5x - 17$
- ∠TBC = $3x + 14$

Since BT bisects ∠ABC, then:
$$
5x - 17 = 3x + 14
$$

Solve:
$$
5x - 3x = 14 + 17 \\
2x = 31 \\
x = 15.5
$$

Now check:
- $5(15.5) - 17 = 77.5 - 17 = 60.5$
- $3(15.5) + 14 = 46.5 + 14 = 60.5$ → good

Answer: x = 15.5

---

#### Problem 16:
- BT bisects ∠ABC
- ∠ABT = $5x - 14$
- ∠TBC = $3x + 36$

Set equal:
$$
5x - 14 = 3x + 36 \\
5x - 3x = 36 + 14 \\
2x = 50 \\
x = 25
$$

Check:
- $5(25) - 14 = 125 - 14 = 111$
- $3(25) + 36 = 75 + 36 = 111$ → good

Answer: x = 25

---

#### Problem 17:
- BT bisects ∠ABC
- ∠ABT = $1/2 x + 24$
- ∠TBC = $1/3 x - 48$

Wait — $ \frac{1}{3}x - 48 $? That would be negative for small x.

Set equal:
$$
\frac{1}{2}x + 24 = \frac{1}{3}x - 48
$$

Multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate denominators:
$$
6(\frac{1}{2}x + 24) = 6(\frac{1}{3}x - 48) \\
3x + 144 = 2x - 288 \\
3x - 2x = -288 - 144 \\
x = -432
$$

Then angles:
- $ \frac{1}{2}(-432) + 24 = -216 + 24 = -192^\circ $ → invalid

So impossible.

Likely a typo.

Perhaps it's:
- $ \frac{1}{2}x + 24 $
- $ \frac{1}{3}x + 48 $ ?

Then:
$$
\frac{1}{2}x + 24 = \frac{1}{3}x + 48 \\
\text{Multiply by 6: } 3x + 144 = 2x + 288 \\
x = 144
$$

Then:
- $ \frac{1}{2}(144) + 24 = 72 + 24 = 96 $
- $ \frac{1}{3}(144) + 48 = 48 + 48 = 96 $ → valid

So likely typo: $+48$ instead of $-48$

Assuming typo: $ \frac{1}{3}x + 48 $, then x = 144

Problems 12–14: PT is angle bisector of ∠RPS. Find missing angles



#### Problem 12:
- PT bisects ∠RPS
- ∠RPT = 37°
- So ∠TPS = 37° (since bisected)
- Therefore, ∠RPS = 37° + 37° = 74°

So the two missing measures:
- ∠TPS = 37°
- ∠RPS = 74°

Answers: ∠TPS = 37°, ∠RPS = 74°

---

#### Problem 13:
- PT bisects ∠RPS
- ∠RPT = 46°
- So ∠TPS = 46°
- ∠RPS = 46° + 46° = 92°

Answers: ∠TPS = 46°, ∠RPS = 92°

---

#### Problem 14:
- PT bisects ∠RPS
- ∠RPT = 75°
- So ∠TPS = 75°
- ∠RPS = 75° + 75° = 150°

Answers: ∠TPS = 75°, ∠RPS = 150°

---

Final Notes:


- Problems 7, 8, and 17 likely have typos in the expressions (e.g., signs).
- Always ensure that angle measures are positive.
- When an angle is bisected, the two resulting angles are equal.
- Use the Angle Addition Postulate: If a point lies in the interior of an angle, then the sum of the two smaller angles equals the larger angle.

If you can clarify the exact expressions in problems 7, 8, and 17, I can give exact solutions.
