Question

parallelogram ABCD, angle A is 3x + 12 and angle B is 132°. Show your work in finding the value of x.

Answer 1

Hint: Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Answer 2

Do not give the answer.

Answer 3

Anyone giving answers will be abuse reported.

Answer 4

think: 180-132=?
?=3x+12
?-12=3x
now try to solve it

Answer 5

Really hero.... and 6x?

Answer 6

2nd Hint:

Angle A + Angle B = 180
(3x + 12) + 132 = 180

Answer 7

that's what i said...

Answer 8

was it 6? no one told me.....if i was right or wrong...

Answer 9

@RiyaMoon, use the information I just gave you to solve and use algebra.

Answer 10

i jsut freaking did and i get six....

Answer 11

What I mean is, show your steps here.

Answer 12

Actually type them out

Answer 13

urg you divide 12 by three and get 2...then the anwser is two.

Answer 14

nvmforget what i just said. x= 4 so plug 4 in for x and you get 180

Answer 15

3rd Hint: x does not equal 4

Answer 16

x=12 then....

Answer 17

Finally :D

Answer 18

Exemplary work Hero!

Answer 19

180-132=48
3x+12=48
subtract 12 on both sides so it would be
3x=36
divide by 3 on both sides getting
x=12..........

Answer 20

Good job, but it would have been better to have written your solution this way:

Angle A + Angle B = 180
(3x + 12) + 132 = 180
3x + 12 + 132 = 180
3x + 144 = 180
3x - 144 = 180
3x = 180 - 144
3x = 36
x = 36/3
x = 12

Doing it that way would have shown that you understand that the angles are supplementary and that they have to both add to get a sum of 180.

Answer 21

so...you just gave the answer...

Answer 22

Yes, after providing adequate hints and explanations. But more importantly, I was just clarifying a solution the user had already posted. Did you notice that?

Answer 23

yes...whatever, never mind
