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

@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|

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.

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

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?

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|
