My daughter Morgan needs help in Geometry anyone willing to help?
just pose the question , we're here to help , that is the sole purpose
post the ques
Please hold
is it Eoin Morgan ?
post a problem
What?
XYZ and XYW are complementary angles. mXYZ = 3x + 9 and mXYW = 5x + 9. What are mXYZ and mXYW ?
next to XYZ is this little < thing
If the angles are complementary , they sum up to 90 degrees , so , 3x + 9 + 5x + 9 = 90 8x + 18 = 90 8x = 90 - 18 8x = 72 x = 72/8 = 9 put the value of x back in the given equations and u get the respective angles
Hello my name is Morgan! :D Okay can we back up here just a little bit please?? How do i put the x back in the given equation?
3x + 9 = 3*9 + 9 = 27 + 9 = 36
Wait, im all confused... im sorry!! im just a little bit slow.. :( stupid autism.... im rlly sorry,
it's okay , tell me what u didn't understand :D
how you got 3x+9-3*9+8=27+9=36....
substitute x with the value we got , remember x = 9 ? , I just put that back
oh okay i got it now!
:D
okay whats next step?
nothing , those are the angles , do the same for 5x + 9 to get the other angle
5x+9 = 5*9 + 9 = 54 + 9 =63
ummm , 5*9 is 45
oh my bad im sorry i read it wrong!
but , ya , that's the idea
5x+9 = 5*9 + 9 = 45 + 9 = 54
U GOT IT :D :D
okay so the answers is 36 & 54 correct joel?
yep , absolutely
Woohoo! that is soo much easier than the teacher made it! okay there is 2 more could we go over if you dont mind? i just wnat to 1000000% understand this :D
U Betcha
ABC and DEF are supplementary angles. The measure of DEF is twenty degrees less than three times the measure of ABC. What are mABC and mDEF?
Okay , now supplementary means that the angles sum upto 180 degrees let angle ABC = x So , angle DEF = 3x - 20 , got it?
yeah
Umm , just a question , r u the daughter who needs help or the mother ?
Anywys , ABC + DEF = 180 So , x + 3x - 20 = 180 Try to solve it now
I said awhile ago hi this is morgan haha, im the daughter!
OKAY , :D , good to know :)
Im sorry for asking so many questions but how do you solve it?? can ya point me in right way how to do it?
Ya , u got the "sum upto 180" part , ryte ? Now we don't know the angles , but we have a relation between them , So , let ABC = x then , according to the Q , DEF is 20 less than 3 times ABC ; that is DEF = 3x - 20 , now u have bith the angles , just ADD
do i add 3x + 20 together?
No , ABC + DEf = 180 x + 3x - 20 = 180 4x - 20 = 180 4x = 180 + 20 4x = 200 x = 200/4 = 50
oh okay it makes sense now!
:D ,
Got it , sis ?
Got it!
:)D
U make this sooo much easier thank you so much there is one more,
BRING IT
