Question

CHECK OUT ATTACHMENT
I added both sides by 114
180 + 114 = 294 | 114 + 114 = 228
294 - 228 = 66
so it's B.?

Answer 1

Okay, the angle on the other side from the 114 is going to be what? Hint: this is a complementary angle, which always adds up to 180 degrees.

Answer 2

I added 180 + 114

Answer 3

No, you can't do that. The complementary angle (the one inside the triangle, but without a label attached) to 114 degrees is how big?

Answer 4

180 - 114 = ?

Answer 5

oh!! = 66

Answer 6

114 + z = 180
z = 66
z + y + y = 180
66 + y + y = 180
y = ?

Answer 7

= 114

Answer 8

no, check your work...

Answer 9

think about it, 114 + 114 + 66 >> 180!

Answer 10

66 + y + y = 180
66 + 2y = 180
2y = 180 - 66
y = 90 - 33
y =

Answer 11

thanks! = 57

Answer 12

there you go! now we check the answer:

66 + 57 + 57 = 180 — our triangle is not bursting at the seams :-)

Answer 13
