In △ABC, AB = 7, BC = 12, and m∠ABC = 82°.

In △DEF, DE = 7, EF = 12, and m∠DEF = (2x − 6)°.

AC > DF.

What is the range of possible values for x?

A. 44 < x < 180
B. 3 < x < 44
C. 0 < x < 44
D. None of these
E. x > 44
F. 44 < x < 93
G. x < 44

Answer :

The possible range of angle x is x < 44

How to solve for angle x

given data

In △ A B C , A B = 7 , B C = 12 , and m ∠ A B C = 82 ∘

In △ D E F , D E = 7 , E F = 12 and m ∠ D E F = ( 2 x − 6 ) ∘

A C > D F

Solution for angle x is gotten from the clue in A C > D F

This means that angle included by m ∠ A B C = 82 ∘ is greater than the angle included by m ∠ D E F = ( 2 x − 6 ) ∘

We therefore say that

82 ∘ > ( 2 x − 6 ) ∘

82 + 6 > 2 x

88 > 2 x

divide both sides by 2

88 / 2 > 2 x / 2

44 > x

x < 44 degrees

Hence option g is the correct answer
