a. The value of x is 7
b. The measure of ∠1 is 99°
Calculating angles
From the question, we are to solve for x
From the given diagram, we can write that
m∠NMQ + m∠MQN + m∠QNM = 180° (Sum of angles in a triangle)
From the given information,
m∠NMQ = 5x +19
m∠MQN = 8x -11
m∠QNM = 11x + 4
Then,
5x + 19 + 8x -11 + 11x + 4 = 180
Collect like terms
5x + 8x + 11x = 180 - 19 + 11 - 4
24x = 168
∴ x = 168/24
x = 7
Hence, the value of x is 7
b.
Measure of ∠1 + m∠QNM = 180° (Sum of angles on a straight line)
∴ Measure of ∠1 = 180° - m∠QNM
But m∠QNM = 11x + 4
∴ m∠QNM = 11(7) + 4
m∠QNM = 77 + 4
m∠QNM = 81°
Then,
Measure of ∠1 = 180° - 81°
Measure of ∠1 = 99°
Hence, the measure of ∠1 is 99°
