Is there an image?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well because they are supplementary, x has to equal 71
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and in all quadrilaterals, the interior angles add up to 360, so y equals?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
100+81+71=252

360-252= 108
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=108
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Anymore questions?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

A)14
B)15
C)16
D) 17
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I want you to try solving this, after the few we did together
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hint: start with 180(n-2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay , so would i replace n with how many sides there are on this shape ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yep, so 5

so , 180(5-20)= 540.
what do I do after that.. lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I meant 2 not 20.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorry internet cut out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok so you know already about the first 340 degrees of the pentagon
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 540-340=200

so what's left is 7x+8 and 5x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
add them to get 12x+8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Are you following?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
kinda lol it's all really confusing to meee.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Any questions?

i don't understand the part right before you said are you following ? i don't understand how you added or what you did to get 12x+8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You know about the first 340 degrees
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you are missing 200
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the measurements you don't know are 7x+8 and 5x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but you know that 200 is 7x+8 and 5x added

so when you add you get.... 12x+8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh , okay i understand how you got it . lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so now subtract 8 from both sides, you get 12x=192
And Finnish off by dividing both sides by 12 and getting?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
16
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You got it!
