Find the measure of angle CBA I'll draw it now
|dw:1377254794201:dw|
Is anything else given? :)
They tell us A is 32 do they tell us anything else? @SunshineGirl
Well to find the measure of one angle we need to know the other two sides, do they say anything about the sides like are any sides equal?
Oh! Sorry! gosh i forgot. C=(4x+7) and B=(11x-9)
Alright Great ! So now all you need to do is use The Angle sum property of the triangle that tells us that ALL ANGLES IN A TRIANGLE SUM UP TO 180' SO C+B+A = 180 OR (4x+7)+(11x-9)+(32) = 180! Get the value of x and then put it in B=11x-9 Understood? :)
And you'd get the value of CBA then! :) Getting me? :D
No actually, I'm having a hard time following that. Sorry I'm new to geometry. How do I get the value of x?
Alright do you know what the angle sum property of a triangle is? :)
|dw:1377255428209:dw| Getting this? :)
@SunshineGirl ? :)
Is there a formula for solving the equation? :/
Not quite! First tell me are you understanding me?
Not at all actually. Sorry i have a hard time with numbers. I got a 98% average in college level english but when it comes to math I don't understand anything.
Chill out! OS will hep you on that! Alright so do you know the total sum of the angles in quadrilaterals like squares, rhombuses, parrallelograms etc?
I only understand when there's a simple formula involved.
Try never to get so accustomed with formulas they may help for a while but they aren't of much help in the long run! Try getting the concept! What do you want me to teach you now? Formula~or~The Cocept here? :D
Alright well thank you for your time but I'm completely lost. I'll just review my textbook i suppose. I'll give you best response for your time.
I really don't mind helping you! Alright Good luck! But remember Concept, not formula! :D
That doesn't work for me. I can't comprehend concepts.
Try for a while maybe? :D Chill out on that then! Okay even if you learn formulae Try understanding them alright? :D
