Ok, I've got a little bit of this figured out. It is FINDING THE MEASURE OF 2 ANGLES. And I am very confused and neeeeeed helppp!!!!!!!

Someone told me this -- But I don't know how to implement it. for x x+y+125+72 =360

OpenStudy (phi):

This is not a triangle, so the rule about exterior angles does not apply but I would use the rule that two angles that add up to a straight line must add to 180º notice that 116 + y add to a straight line, so you can find y 116+y=180 solve for y (add -116 to both sides) next rule: a figure with 4 sides, its interior angles add up to 360 (I remember this by remembering a square has 4 equal 90º angles, or 360 total, and then remember 360 is true for all 4 sided figures)

OpenStudy (phi):

Can you find y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi on the first rule, add NEGATIVE 160 to both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y is 64 in the first rule

OpenStudy (phi):

according to your picture, I see 116 on the left side of the line and yº on the right side of the line. together they add to 180

OpenStudy (phi):

116+64=180 so that checks. y is 64 now use the rule that all 4 angles inside the figure add up to 360 (replace y with 64) x+ 64 + 125 +72 = 360 I would first simplify by adding up the numbers 64+125+72

OpenStudy (anonymous):

261 360-261=99

OpenStudy (phi):

yes that is x. x=99

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x is 99 and y is 64 :D @phi

OpenStudy (phi):

yes.
