Math help @e.mccormick
/wave hey there.
Heya xD
OK, that says it is a parallelogram. So for starters, what does that tell us about it?
It has two parallel sides
Missing a word there. Sets. A trapezoid has two parallel sides. A parallelogram has two sets of parallel sides.
Oh okay
So the top is parallel to the bottm and sides to each other. That means the angles have relationships based on prallel lines.
Remember any rules, like interior or exterior angle rules for parallel lines and a line that intersects them?
I think so
OK. hen lets do a quick diagram and see if you can figure out what they have asked. |dw:1367625635170:dw|

Awesommeee, and I didnt guess this time!
OK, so only one missing this time.
Hehe. We just talked about this at the evry start of the last problem! So yah.
Lol so I got it correct?
Yep. That was what we were talking about with the two sets of parallel sides. 1) uses the first set and 3) uses the second set.
Well, if it tiles together in there somewhere, all the better. More chances to remember it.
Yes! They bisect each other, so 7.
Hehe. Well, I think you relaxed a bit, and that always helps.
Yep. They are intersecting parallel lines, so each segment is the same measure.
OK, do you know how to go about this one?
Well, start with this. How much are all the angles in a quadrilateral? I mean, like the three angles in a triangle add up to 180. How much do all 4 in a quadrilateral add up to?
Well, lets start with a square. So each angle is 90 degrees. Right? And there are four of them.
Yes. Now, lets see what happens when we make the square a different parallelogram.|dw:1367626943959:dw|
