Look at the parallelogram below.
The labelled angles are acute.
For what values of X is there a solution?
To determine the values of for which the given angle in the parallelogram is acute, we will follow these steps:
Now, let's carry out each step:
Step 1: The problem gives us the expression as the measurement of a labelled angle in the parallelogram. To remain acute, angles must satisfy the inequalities:
Step 2: Solve the inequality: Adding 42 on both sides, we have: Dividing both sides by 5, we find:
Step 3: Since this angle is part of a parallelogram, the opposite angles ( measured angle) and adjacent angles also adhere to specific conditions. For these adjacent angles (also acuteness required), similar inequalities lead to further constraints which in conjunction with results in contradiction when further examined due to the nature of parallelograms.
Thus, there turns out to be no common solution across needed constraints with .
Ultimately, no satisfies these conditions and keeps all angles in a parallelogram acute, confirming no solution exists for such a configuration under stated conditions.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is No solution.
No solution.
