@jigglypuff314 you seem to know what your doing(;

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

kinda same as before :) sum of exterior angles = 360 http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/exterior-angles-polygons.html so you would get 12x + 37 + 46 + 20x - 29 + 12x - 2 = 360 so first add like terms :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha thats what I figured so... 44x and 52

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

so solve for x when given 44x + 52 = 360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So... 360-52=308 308/44=So X =7 From this, I can Conclude That x=7

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have one more question, the exterior angles of a triangle measure, x',(2x)', and (3x)' Any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used ' as degrees

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

same idea :) x + 2x + 3x = 360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A triangles exterior angles are also 360?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

all polygon exterior angles add up to 360 :) http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/exterior-angles-polygons.html

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So x=120?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or 60?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

60 would be correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanksss
