#31. I’m very confused. Solve?

Since the triangles are congruent, m<ACB = m<CAD = 2x + 8
m<B = m<D = 3x
m<CAB + m<B + m<ACB = 180
37 + 3x + 2x + 8 = 180
5x + 45 = 180
5x = 135
x = 27
m<CBA = m<B = 3x = 3(27) = 81
m<CBA = 81 deg
Triangle ACD and Triangle CAB are the same or equivalent, and side AD is parallel to side BC. Find ∠B.
A triangle is 180°. To find x you can add all of the angles together and set it equal to 180°
37° + 3x° + (2x+8)° = 180°
Subtract 37° on both sides
3x° + (2x+8)° = 143°
3x° + 2x° + 8° = 143°
5x° = 135°
x = 27°
Since ∠D=∠B
3(27) = ∠B
81° = ∠B
