Question

if angle cfd= 12a + 45, find a so that FC is perpindicular to FD. I'm so confused..

Answer 1

Hello.

Answer 2

hey

Answer 3

hi

Answer 4

So lets start with what you know

Answer 5

angle CFD=12a+45, and ray FC and ray FD are perpendicular.

Answer 6

what does it mean when two rays are perpendicular?

Answer 7

doesn't that mean like it's identical?

Answer 8

it means they are at right angles to eachother

Answer 9

oh yeah

Answer 10

now i am assuming that when they are saying the angle CFD, they are talking about the measure of the angle CFD. What do you think?

Answer 11

are you confused by the question?

Answer 12

yeah

Answer 13

when i say the measure of an angle, I mean the number of degrees in the angle. is that better?

Answer 14

yeah it is. It's confusing the way they say it.

Answer 15

ok. so how many degrees are in a right angle?

Answer 16

90 i think?

Answer 17

that would be absolutely correct.

Answer 18

now, if the measure of the angle is 90 degrees, how can you use the above equation to solve your problem? and dont worry, we'll getcha through this.

Answer 19

12a + 45 = 90?

Answer 20

you got it.
