The folding chair has different settings that change the angles formed by its parts. Suppose m2 is 34 and m3 is 76. Find m1The diagram is not to scale. A. 130 B. 110 C. 100 D. 120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

M3+M2+x=180 correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is that like the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or just math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how would i solve for m3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i messed up ms from the diagram

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the triangle formed around m3 and m2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but how would i solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry im bad at math especiallt geometry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let the space we dont know be x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

therefore x+m3+m2=180 since we have two unknowns, (x and M3) we have to find one of them before we use the formula above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so how would we find them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at where m1 and x are in the picture what would they make by them self?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i honestly dnt know math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They would make a straight line if the angles were added together don't you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x+m1=180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so is 180 the answer or do we have to simplify it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u get b from 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so m2+m3=110 180-110=x 180-x=m1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) thanks for your patience

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your welcome. I could have just told you but i wanted you to understand the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true but its more helpful when you show the work then the answer lol
