icalibear · Answer

the circles are supposed to mean degrees i just fail at drawing

theeric · Answer

Oh, I see! Drawing is good enough! So, is there anything significant about where your two angle values are at? That's usually a good question to start with, and you learn more and more about what's significant as you go on. What MEANS something, you know? So, do you see anything meaningful there?

icalibear · Answer

Well they both represent angles? I don't know :(

icalibear · Answer

I just don't know how to solve these or how much the figure will measure

theeric · Answer

Haha, that's good, sort of. Now you know you're learning.
Anytime you see two lines intersecting, opposite angles are equal!

theeric · Answer

That's really the key to all this, and just one thing more to learn.
