find the value of x

OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):

OpenStudy (raden):

first, trying to get the values of A,B,C, and D. |dw:1388081928576:dw|

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.

OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):

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 (anonymous):

From the parentthesis Doesnt matter anyways someone is about to prove me horribly wrong.

OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):

alright raden.. then what?

OpenStudy (raden):

find B,C, and D

OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):

Is what he said correct? does that work?

OpenStudy (raden):

i tried that, that's wrong :)

OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):

alright so can you just explain how to find x?

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?

OpenStudy (raden):

you just need about of the supplementary angles is add up to 180 degrees

OpenStudy (dylanfwlr):

I know that and complementary = 90

OpenStudy (raden):

well, i will make the diagram completly : |dw:1388082674740:dw|
