OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you need to know how to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the value of x @roberman228

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is a picture attached above @roberman228

OpenStudy (zehanz):

It is an equilateral triangle. What can you say about the two other angles of the triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=45

OpenStudy (zehanz):

No, could you answer my question, please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that they are equal, so x equals 45?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

zehan mention me in your ? and i'll come to it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait no, cause x is equall to the opposite inner angles? so x = 80?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Both angles in the triangle are equal. Sum of all angles in a triangle is how many degrees?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly, x=80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180. @ZeHanz

OpenStudy (zehanz):

@Foreverisabell: so what is left for the two equal angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im still confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all the angles have to equal 180 inside no?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Sum of angles is 180. One angle is 40. Sum of other two angles is 140. The other two angles are equal, so 70 degrees each.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh alright thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that means x = 70 + 40?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Yes! See, it is not that hard...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with one more thing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Sure!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I attached the picture.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

I can see it ;) If P is a centroid, then P divides QT into two pieces, QP and PT, with QP:PT =2:1 Now you know the length of QP (=14), so what would be the length of PT?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 + 14? zoo. 28?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*sooo

OpenStudy (zehanz):

No, QP:PT=2:1, so QP is double the length of PT, so PT would be 7. So total 14+7=21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay now I get it.
