help me plse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the value of x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bigger illustration please,,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First use the property that sum of angles is 180 in Triangle's ABC and OBC. Then use the property that exterior angle is equal to sum of opposite interior angles for angle C. You have now three equations and three variables.. Solve them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how the third equation came

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@koushik_ksv

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two equations from the first property, third from second one. 3. 180-2x = A+ 28+36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Angle A= 126-2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i m not getting my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amistre64 plse help me

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1373374769219:dw| what do the I and O represent ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i is 1 angle o is the centre

OpenStudy (amistre64):

just as a guess, I can see 3 equations in 3 unknowns \[54+2x+I=180\]\[26+x+y=180\]\[28+360-y+x+I=360\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from where does the last condition came

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1373375330053:dw|

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that should add up to 360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so only one condition is coming x+y=154

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so by hit and trial method, we will be getting x = 35 and y =119

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i ran a matrix rref on it and got: x = 63 - i /2 y = 91+ i /2 i = 0 + i im wondering if these are applicable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u r also getting x+y = 154

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so by trial method, we will be getting x = 35 and y =119

OpenStudy (amistre64):

are those options? or is there something im missing as to why those values should be it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its answer given behind the book

OpenStudy (amistre64):

:) while they do work out fine, i do not readily see a specific solution without knowing a specific value to attribute to that I angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay any ways thanks for helping

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good luck ;)
