OpenStudy (amistre64):

are we to assume right angles and a rectangle?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if so, then tr = sw 5x-4 = 2x+3 3x = 7 x = 7/3 ??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the wt=rs = 3x-1 = 6

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but other than that, you cant do much else....can you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think your assumption is valid, since SW is different than TR.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sw is different; its equation is different; but x = x....right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i think i see what your saying :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, i made them equal to find x so they should be good with that assumption

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You do? that's good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see what you did.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it's right triangle and the shape is of a rectangle, then the two angles should be exactly the same. Right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes the 2 tris should be the same; the angles of a tri can be different tho; but the same in each tri....congruent/similar?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the tris are equal so the sides are equal regardless right :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

my stupidity played in my favor lol i dint see the congruent triangle part lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't actually get what you're saying :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

since the triangles are similiar, and they have one side that is the same; the other sides are equal..... so its as if its a rectangle :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yeah, almost.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i equate two same sides and find x then find the length of th emissing by equating it to the known side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

6..your answers 6 :) unles i forgot how to add again lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you following scarlet? :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

prolly lost her...im assuming her by the pic.... lost her at my stupidity :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nah, It was me who lost all of us :P

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how so? if all the world was sycophants when would we know we were wrong ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sycophants :O.. I am not one.. " You know nothing about math >.<"

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lol :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry. Here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol!!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

....no you werent lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

She is now!!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im guessing that was a macro program used to elicit responses ;)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

kind alike when you nod your head in a conversation with your spouse lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha. Oh the wit, today!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

:) 6, your answers 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Hopefully. xD
