Thanks for the help @paynesdad

Ok for 11) since the segment that is 8 > 7 we can tell that the angle opposite 8 > angle opposite 7 so 32>x-6 so use algebra to solve that.
for x
The basic point of these problems is that if two angles have equal length legs the larger angle is the one with the longer side opposite (across from it).
So in 12) since the two triangles have two sides that are congruent but the third side of each triangle is not congruent then the angle opposite (across from) the longer third side is larger than the angle opposite (across from) the shorter third side. So since 6 > 5 then 36 > 2x-12. Do you see what I am getting at? Now all you have to do is solve 36>2x-12 for x.

Oops
Are you with me?
yes i am i am just reading it
i am very solw reader
My picture was wrong ... hold on.
ok

Ok so look at the drawing above of number 13. I have added letters so we can look at talk about the shapes. Since AB is not equal to CD we know that triangle ABD is not congruent to triangle DCA. But we do know that AC = BD and AD = AD so two sides of one triangle are congruent to to sides of the other and AB > CD so we can conclude that in triangle ABD that the angle opposite side AB (angle ADB) must be larger than the angle opposite CD in triangle DCA ... that would be angle DAC. That is since AB>CD we can tell that angle ADB > angle DAC so 28 > 2y-7. Now all you have to do is solve for y to answer the question.
Are you understanding the concept better? Wow geometry is a tough course for a student who is learning english! I think you are doing great! I can only hope I would be doing as well if I were learning arabic!
yes i am getting there ya it very hard for me i only been in america 3 months
Where did you live in Sudan (if you don't mind me asking)?
fasher but it is flooding so i am in america now for 2 months\
Is that near New Halfa?
i dont know lol but i think how do i do number 14)
r u there :)
please @Paynesdad is the last question that i will ever ask u again in my life
Well you thought you knew how to do 14) what was the inequality that you came up with?
4x-10<50
Awesome...Great job. I think you understand. What is your final answer?
4x<60 so x<60/4
so x<15 ... very good good. Best of Luck my friend!
@mhalo
thank u i am soo happy that i understand noww
