Question

I need help
I am taking geometry A and have been having problems with this type of question, can someone explain the answer to me? I don't want to cheat, I just want to know how to do this. Thanks!
4. pb bisects rpt so that rpb = x + 2 and tpb = 2x - 6. what is rpt?

Answer 1

Are you talking about angles?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Is the answer supposed to look like an equation? It's been a long time since I've done this type of problem, so I'm just making sure.

Answer 4

i have to find the measurement of rpt, so no. I've done one like this before with multiple choice, this is my first time trying it without options.

Answer 5

Here is what I have so far. I wrote this with my finger, so the handwriting might be bad.

Answer 6

I know for sure that rpb + tpb = rpt

Answer 7

wait that kinda confused me. the answer has to be a measurement in degrees because they are angles, is that what your trying to do or what? i cant tell im so sorry

Answer 8

Is there a picture for this problem?

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11
