Question

Firstly: Thanks to the brilliant guys who helped me with my last Geo-related question, @some_someone and @AravindG.

Well, I have another one.
Yikes.

As I always say: I don't want to know the answer, I want to know how to do these types of problems.
My mind is sort of confused about this one.

And with a horrible teacher, things sure don't get any better.

How would you do this type of problem?

Find the measures of x, y, and z.

Geo never fails to confuse me.
*sigh*

Answer 1

eveery an equilateral triangle has the same angles, are 60 - 60 - 60

Answer 2

So?
Yeah, I know that.. so it adds up to 180... All triangles do...

But still, I don't know how to do this problem.

Answer 3

obviously, x = y = z = 50 degrees

Answer 4

damn, typo . i mean 60 degrees :)

Answer 5

Oh my god.
Am I a retard ?

Answer 6

Oh my god.

Answer 7

Oh my god.

Answer 8

LMAFO!

Answer 9

If all three sides of a triangle are equal then it is an equilateral triangle. In an equilateral triangle all three angles are equal. if one of the angle is x then
3x=180 (sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180)
x=180/3
=60

Answer 10

Like they said, the triangle is an equilateral triangle. Hence all the side lengths are 20.
Also a triangle's interior angles add up to 180 degrees.
So angle X, Y, Z = 180 degrees.
since it is equilateral just do like the following or like some of the previous users mentioned :)
180/3 = 60
X = 60
Y = 60
Z = 60
hence: 60 + 60 + 60 = 180 degrees
DONE.
