I REALLY NEED HELP ANYONE PLEASE :(
exterior angle theorem? anyone
surrrrrre *^.^*
@cheergurl_99
thanks
Welcome! *^.^* What's your question?
well im not quite sure how to solve equations using the exterior angle theorem
can u give me an example??
yeah sure umm like angle T is 5x+10 and angle S is 58 degrees and then Angle U is 11x+2 and its in a triangle form of course but i cant really show you so im telling you the angles
im not quite sure how to set that up or solve it i mean earlier someone explained it to me but im not so clear about it
um can u attach it, it would really help
yeah i can try
gimme a sec
No Problem *^.^*
sorry to keep you waiting im trying to see if its on blackboard
Not a Problem at all hun *^.^*
its not up there ;/ but its basically an upside down triangle with the right side extended
ok, i had wanted an image so i can see which angles went where
ohh well umm 11x+2 is U and thats where the extended line is and then in the upper left theres angle T which is 5x+10 and then in the upper right corner theres angle S which is 58 degrees
ok hun, gimme a second to draw it out, nd figure it out *^.^*
alrighty no prob :)
ok, i think ive figured it out, but, can u tell me what type of triangle it iz?? isosceles, with two congruent anglez??
yes its an isosceles
Perfect!!! I think i got! Are S and T congruent??
yes
5x + 10 = 58 -10 -10 5x = 48 /5 /5 x = 9.333333(etc) x = 9.4
isnt it suppose to be 5x+10+58+11x+2? thats what i was told before
wait no no i meant 5x+10+58=11x+2
ohhh ok yahh thats another way to solve for x!! setting all of the measures to equal 180 degrees!! Good Job!! 5x + 10 + 58 + 11x + 2 = 180 (combine like terms) 16x + 70 = 180 -70 -70 16x = 110 x = 6.875
OHHH OKAY THANK YOU!! :) THANKS SO MUCH!
do i do that for the rest of them?
your supose to set it to 180?
yes!! for triangles only tho!! set them to equal 180 degreez, and then combine like termz, nd solve from there :D Your Welcome! NOO Problem *^.^* U can tag me whenever u have a question!!
thanks :)
ANY time *^.^*
whats your name :)
MY name is Venus *^.^* nd u??
lexi :)
NIce to meeet ya *^.^*
