Given the regular decagon, what is the measure of each numbered angle? A. m∡1 = 72°; m∡2 = 18°; m∡3 = 36° B. m∡1 = 18°; m∡2 = 36°; m∡3 = 72° C. m∡1 = 36°; m∡2 = 72°; m∡3 = 18° D. m∡1 = 36°; m∡2 = 18°; m∡3 = 72°

  D.  m∡1 = 36°; m∡2 = 18°; m∡3 = 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

The 10 central angles are all the same for the regular decagon, so each is 1/10 of 360°. Angle 1 is 36°.

Angle 2 is half of angle 1, since the altitude shown is an angle bisector. Angle 2 is 18°.

Angle 3 is the complement of angle 2. It is the other acute angle in the triangle that has angle 2 marked. Angle 3 is 72°.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
