pls do problem A

Transcribed Image Text:For each diagram below, solve for \( x \). Explain what angle relationship(s) you used for each problem.
a. Diagram a shows two angles in a right triangle. The angles are labeled \( 6x \) and \( 4x + 10^\circ \). The third angle, a right angle, is \( 90^\circ \).
b. Diagram b shows two angles in a linear pair. The angles are labeled \( 5x + 13^\circ \) and \( 3x + 7^\circ \).
**Explanation for Each Problem:**
- For diagram (a), use the angle sum property of triangles, which states that the sum of the angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \). Since one angle is \( 90^\circ \), solve for \( x \) using the equation: \( 6x + (4x + 10) + 90 = 180 \).
- For diagram (b), use the concept of a linear pair, where the sum of two adjacent angles is \( 180^\circ \). Solve for \( x \) using the equation: \( (5x + 13) + (3x + 7) = 180 \).
