hey, cute penguin, help him, please

OpenStudy (nikato):

thank you! and we can start with x what is the total degree of a line or a supplementary angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180

OpenStudy (nikato):

correct! and since we know that the angles with x and 100 make a straight line, we can say: x+100=180 so what would x be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80

OpenStudy (nikato):

YES! ok, so what is the total degree of a triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360

OpenStudy (nikato):

not really, its actually 180. you should remmeber traingles are 180 and all quadrilaterals are 360 ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (loser66):

I am jealous, he is cute and good at teaching too. ha!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how we find y and z

OpenStudy (nikato):

she* and now we can solve for y. if we know that two of the angles are 62 and 80 and that the triangle =180,then we can say the following: 62+80+y=180 and what would y be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

38

OpenStudy (nikato):

yes! and now z... we will do the same thing but with different numbers 17+100+z=180 see how i got this^ its like the same as the one we just did. now what do you get for z?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

63

OpenStudy (nikato):

great job! and now you had solved for your x,y, and z
