90∘90^\circ

72∘72^\circ

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Identify the relationship between the angles.

    The image shows three angles, xx, 5x5x, and 4x4x, that lie on a straight line. Angles on a straight line are supplementary, meaning their sum is 180∘180^\circ.

  2. Formulate the equation.

    Add the three angles and set their sum equal to 180∘180^\circ:

    x+5x+4x=180∘x + 5x + 4x = 180^\circ
  3. Solve for xx.

    Combine the like terms on the left side of the equation:

    (1+5+4)x=180∘(1 + 5 + 4)x = 180^\circ 10x=180∘10x = 180^\circ

    Divide both sides by 10 to find the value of xx:

    x=180∘10x = \frac{180^\circ}{10} x=18∘x = 18^\circ
  4. Calculate the measure of each angle.

    Substitute the value of xx back into each expression:

    • First angle: x=18∘x = \boxed{18^\circ}
    • Second angle: 5x=5×18∘=90∘5x = 5 \times 18^\circ = \boxed{90^\circ}
    • Third angle: 4x=4×18∘=72∘4x = 4 \times 18^\circ = \boxed{72^\circ}
