Answer 2

Theres no way this is geometry, honestly, the most we used SohCahToa for in geometry honors was just knowing trig ratios.

Answer 3

I'm sorry...I don't think I can solve this....(I'm too tired...can't think) :S

Answer 4

This is a load of BS. Im seriously complaining to my girlfriends teacher.

Answer 5

hahaha lol xD

Answer 6

maybe @JamesJ can help

Answer 7

Someone in AP calculus should be able to do geometry, but no! This is just madness!

Answer 8

I assume the ST and QR are parallel, as are the the opposite pair: TQ and SR.

Answer 9

You need to write down four linear equations to be able to solve for the four variables: #1, #2, x and y.

It's it not so bad; just takes some working through. For example consider the angles between TQ and SR on the left. They must sum to 180 degrees. Hence
(3x + 2) + #2 + #1 + 53 = 180

Another equation comes from the triangle on the left. The angle opposite x+3 is also x+3 hence
#1 + #2 + (x+3) = 180

and so on.

Answer 10

Check my new problem James, I left out a y somewhere, perhaps thats where its messing everyone up.

Answer 11

Actually the first thing to do is to solve for x.

Call the center point C. Then the angle TCQ is 180 - (x+3) = 179 - x.
The angle TQC = QSR = 53.

Hence the angles of the triangle TCQ must add to 180 and thus
(179 - x) + 53 + (3x + 2) = 180

From this you can solve for x. And then you are on your way.
