OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you explain?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OK! can you find the unknown angle for me? (on the left)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Sum of the angles in a triangle is =180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well 60+90=30

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

what?! NOOOO!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 150 and then 180-150=30

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

150, where do you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60+90

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you know 2 angles, 90 deg and 60 deg, right?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

YEP!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay haha now what?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So to find the remaining angle what would you do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you take away 150 from 180? correct or no?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then what?(:

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Do you know what 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 triangles are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not a clue.. but i think maybe they are special or sommething right?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

This is the rule! |dw:1381872691763:dw| 30-60-90 triangle is just a triangle that has angles with degree measures of 30, 60 and 90.
