anonymous · Answer

x=20

anonymous · Answer

angleA=-20
angleD=-40

anonymous · Answer

lol ikr , same here but those are the values i got for x.

anonymous · Answer

angle a=85   angle d=  48.33333        not100% on this one babe...Sorry

anonymous · Answer

lol. babe...

anonymous · Answer

I made a mistake I think

zepdrix · Answer

Hmm that was a weird way of doing that chem :) But it looks like it worked out ok.

Since BE BISECTS AD, it tells us that the measure of angles A and D are equal.

So we can say, x-40 = 3x-100
Which will still get you to x=30 I think :)

anonymous · Answer

Ya but if you plug that in you get D=-10

zepdrix · Answer

Oh i see what you're saying :D

anonymous · Answer

I feel like my math is sound but the answer doesn't make sense

anonymous · Answer

It says it is a segment bisector not an angle bisector. I cannot assume that ABE = ADE

anonymous · Answer

yes i agree with that zepdrix and i get 30 for value

anonymous · Answer

I still think that 30 cannot be the correct answer. You cannot have a negative angle

anonymous · Answer

What a TERRIBLE PROBLEM!!! The answer is 30. My first solution was correct. wow!

zepdrix · Answer

Yah it doesn't look right :\ I'm not sure though..
