Options:

a. (x + 16) − (6x − 4) = 180

b. (x + 16) + (x) = 90

c. (2x + 16) + (x) = 180

d. (x + 16) − (x) = 90

Answer:

c. (2x + 16) + (x) = 180

The equation that can be used to solve for angle B is (2x + 16) + (x) = 180

Explanation:

This question can be solved by using one of the circle theorems under the topic of Circle geometry.

The theorem that can be used to answer this question states thus:

" Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary"

A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral which has all its four vertices lying on a circle.

Supplementary angles are angles that add up to 180°

To determine what equation can be used to solve for angle B,

In the given diagram, angles A and C are opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral and add up to 180°

Also, angles B and D are opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral and add up to 180°

∴ B + D = 180°

From the diagram

B = (x)° and D = (2x+16)°

∴ (x)° + (2x+16)° = 180°

Hence, the equation that can be used to solve for angle B is (2x + 16) + (x) = 180.

Other circle theorems include:

1. Angles in the same segment are equal

2. The angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference

3. The angle in a semicircle is a right angle etc.

Answer: (2x+16)+(x)=180.

Explanation:
In the given diagram, angles A and C are opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral and add up to 180°.
Also, angles B and D are opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral and add up to 180°:
B+D=180°.
From the diagram:
B=(x)° and D=(2x+16)°;
(x)°+(2x+16)°=180°.
Hence, the equation that can be used to solve for angle B is (2x+16)+(x)=180.

(2x+16)+(x)=180

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. I attached the picture for the exercise.

For a quadrilateral inscribed inside a circle, the sum of the opposite internal angles must be equal to 180.

For example, the angle A plus the angle C must be 180 degrees.

In an equation :

(x+16)+(6x-4)=180

For the angle D :

D+B=180

Therefore

(2x+16)+(x)=180

C. (2x + 16) + (x) = 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the cyclic quadrilateral

One theorem of cyclic quadrilateral states that; opposite angles = 180°

In the attachment, the angle opposite B is D

Where B = x

D = 2x + 16

From the theorem stated above;

B + D = 180°

Substitute the values of B and D in the formula above

x + 2x + 16 = 180

From the list of given options, the correct answer is C

Option 4: (2x + 16)° + (x)° = 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure.

For a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

The opposite angles are supplementary.

So, ∠D + ∠B = 180°

From the figure:

∠B = x°  and ∠D = (2x+16)°

∴  (2x + 16)° + (x)° = 180°
