CXB= ?

Given the following diagram enter the required informationm DXB 70 degrees 15 12 DXC 30 degrees 30 20CXB class=

Respuesta :

we have

m∠DXB=[tex]70\°\ 15'\ 12''[/tex]

m∠DXC=[tex]30\°\ 30'\ 20''[/tex]

we know that

m∠DXB=m∠DXC+m∠CXB

so

m∠CXB=m∠DXB-m∠DXC

remember that

[tex]1\°=60'[/tex]

[tex]1'=60''[/tex]

so

m∠DXB=[tex]70\°\ 15'\ 12''[/tex]

convert one grade to minutes

m∠DXB=[tex]69\°\ 75'\ 12''[/tex]

convert one minute to seconds

m∠DXB=[tex]69\°\ 74'\ 72''[/tex]

Find the value of m∠CXB

m∠CXB=[tex](69\°\ 74'\ 72'')-(30\°\ 30'\ 20'')=39\°\ 44'\ 52''[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

the measure of angle CXB is equal to [tex]39\°\ 44'\ 52''[/tex]
