what do you know about the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral?
hint: a square is a quadrilateral, too
I know that The sum of any shape's interior angles (The angles inside the shape made where the sides meet) can be found using the equation (n-2)*180 where n=the number of sides the shape has. A quadrilateral has four sides so (4-2)*180 2*180 360 The sum of a quadrilateral's interior angles is 360 degrees.
right. so you can write an equation for the sum of the angles and set it equal to 360, then solve for the value of x.
these are the options by the way
(x + 16) - (6x − 4) = 180 (x + 16) + (x) = 90 (2x + 16) + (x) = 180 (x + 16) − (x) = 90
but none of these have 360 in them?
im thinking it will be 2x + 16) + (x) = 180
besides the interior angles summing to 360, the opposite angles will sum to 180
yeah I checked them and the answer choices where right I coppied and pasted them
yeah, I'd go with the 3rd one.
nevermind Im just going to guess on this one can you help me with another question please
I'm a little puzzled as to why the solution to that equation isn't giving us an answer that satisfies the sum of all 4 = 360, but maybe it's just a lack of coffee so far
yeah lol its confusinf for me too
well, what's the other question?
