more than the opposite angles add to 180
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for ur first pick yu can pick any angle so its 4/4
for the second pick yu hav to pick the angle dat is opposite to da first one, and yu have three to pick from, therefore 1/3
(4/4)*(1/3)= 1/3

so wouldn't the answer be 2/3
you chose the first angle randomly then you have chose the rest angle which are supplementary to that which 2/3 angles.
OpenStudy (zarkon):
yes

thanks @Zarkon
OpenStudy (anonymous):
angles D and B do not add up to 180 :/
OpenStudy (zarkon):
