@SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Sum of angles in the triangle is equal to 180.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

|dw:1383379616650:dw|

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

write out a bunch of equations from this. (Should I help you do that? )

OpenStudy (abbie):

yeah please

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

x+36+63=? x+z=? y+z+13=? the upper angle of the entire shape is 36+13 or 49 y+63+49=?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@abbie fill in the blanks for the question marks in each. (using basic rules)

OpenStudy (abbie):

i give up my whole test 28 answers just closed and im screwed

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

|dw:1383380092214:dw| |dw:1383380163455:dw|

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

now maybe?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@abbie are you here?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I really feel bad, because I am not helping, but I need a little more cooperation if you will.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a+b+c=180 63+36+c=180 c=180-99 c=81|dw:1383294739331:dw|

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@abbie do you still need help o this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then u can take help from solomen comment

OpenStudy (abbie):

ya

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

x+36+63=? x+z=? y+z+13=? the upper angle of the entire shape is 36+13 or 49 y+63+49=? fill in the blanks looking at my picture of the shape above.

OpenStudy (abbie):

x+99

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

x+36+63, y+z+13 and y+63+49 are the sums of the angles of the triangle(s).

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

so x+99=180, right?

OpenStudy (abbie):

ya

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

see you know the x what is it?

OpenStudy (abbie):

90

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

no, x+99=180, subtract 99 from both sides.

OpenStudy (abbie):

oh my bad lol 81

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

K,

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

now look at x+z=? what do you think x+z is supposed to be equal to? (Hint: supplementary)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(you also know that x=81) right?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@abbie, can you find z using x=81, and x+z=180 ----> x & z are supplementary

OpenStudy (abbie):

i got it

OpenStudy (abbie):

99 and 81 the third one is 68 and they all add up to 180

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

which is which? x= z= y=

OpenStudy (abbie):

x= 81 y= 99 and z= 68

OpenStudy (abbie):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good one

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

x y and z aren't triangle, so they don't necessarily have to add up to 180 x and z r right! look at y|dw:1383382156680:dw|
