  1. –48°–48° Example 3: Using the Angle Addition Postulate mDEG = 115°, and mDEF = 48°. Find mFEG mDEG = mDEF + mFEG  Add. Post. 115= 48+ mFEG Substitute the given values. Subtract 48 from both sides. 67= mFEG Simplify.

  2. Check It Out! Example 3 mXWZ = 121° and mXWY = 59°. Find mYWZ. mYWZ = mXWZ – mXWY  Add. Post. mYWZ= 121– 59 Substitute the given values. mYWZ= 62 Subtract.

  3. An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles. JK bisects LJM; thus LJKKJM.

  4. KM bisects JKL, mJKM = (4x + 6)°, and mMKL = (7x – 12)°. Find mJKM. Example 4: Finding the Measure of an Angle

  5. +12 +12 –4x –4x Example 4 Continued Step 1 Find x. mJKM = mMKL Def. of  bisector (4x + 6)° = (7x – 12)° Substitute the given values. Add 12 to both sides. 4x + 18 = 7x Simplify. Subtract 4x from both sides. 18 = 3x Divide both sides by 3. 6 = x Simplify.

  6. Example 4 Continued Step 2 FindmJKM. mJKM = 4x + 6 = 4(6) + 6 Substitute 6 for x. = 30 Simplify.

  7. QS bisects PQR, mPQS = (5y – 1)°, and mPQR = (8y + 12)°. Find mPQS. Check It Out! Example 4a Find the measure of each angle. Step 1 Find y. Def. of  bisector Substitute the given values. 5y – 1 = 4y + 6 Simplify. y – 1 = 6 Subtract 4y from both sides. y = 7 Add 1 to both sides.

  8. Check It Out! Example 4a Continued Step 2 FindmPQS. mPQS = 5y – 1 = 5(7) – 1 Substitute 7 for y. = 34 Simplify.

  9. JK bisects LJM, mLJK = (-10x + 3)°, and mKJM = (–x + 21)°. Find mLJM. +x +x –3 –3 Check It Out! Example 4b Find the measure of each angle. Step 1 Find x. LJK = KJM Def. of  bisector (–10x + 3)° = (–x + 21)° Substitute the given values. Add x to both sides. Simplify. –9x + 3 = 21 Subtract 3 from both sides. –9x = 18 Divide both sides by –9. x = –2 Simplify.

  10. Check It Out! Example 4b Continued Step 2 FindmLJM. mLJM = mLJK + mKJM = (–10x + 3)° + (–x + 21)° = –10(–2) + 3 – (–2) + 21 Substitute –2 for x. = 20 + 3 + 2 + 21 Simplify. = 46°
