II. WORD PROBLEM. Solve the following problem. Box your final answer. (15 points)
1. ∆SAY is a right triangle. If 𝑚∠𝑆 = (3𝑥 + 80)°, 𝑚∠𝑌 = (−2𝑥 + 18)° and ∠A is the right angle, find the value of 𝑥,
𝑚∠𝑆 and 𝑚∠𝑌.

̅̅̅̅ and 𝐵𝐶
2. ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle. 𝐴𝐶 ̅̅̅̅ are the congruent sides. If 𝐴𝐶 = (7𝑥 − 15) and 𝐵𝐶 = −𝑥 + 73, find
the value of 𝑥, 𝐴𝐶 and 𝐵𝐶.

3. Perimeter is the sum of all sides. The perimeter of ∆WXY is 51 cm. If 𝑊𝑋 = (9𝑥 – 10)cm, 𝑊𝑌 = (−𝑥 + 20)cm
and 𝑋𝑌 = (5𝑥 + 2)cm. Find 𝑥, 𝑊𝑋, 𝑊𝑌 and 𝑋𝑌. Classify the triangle.
