OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):
A+B+C+D=360?
OpenStudy (raden):
yes, correct.
OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):
and then what?

OpenStudy (raden):
A= ?
B= ?
C= ?
D= ?
(in term of x)
OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):
would they all be equal? I dont see how i can figure that out just like that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
simplify to x+16+(3x-1)=9x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thats the quickest way in my opinion.

where did you get all the x+16 etc?
OpenStudy (raden):
see your diagram above, A as the supplementary of the angle x+16
A+x+16=180
A = 180 - (x+16)

OpenStudy (raden):
i tried that, that's wrong :)
OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):

OpenStudy (raden):
look how do i get A (in x).
with same idea, we can get B,C, and D (also in x) right ?
OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):
Can you write out the formulas then?

you just need about of the supplementary angles is add up to 180 degrees
OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):
I know that and complementary = 90
OpenStudy (raden):
