Take the equilateral triangle. each angle is 60 so it must sum up to 180. please help... the diagram is below . . .
hi what mean equilateral triangle ?
|dw:1391947531064:dw|
@jhonyy9 it has all sides equal and all angles equal.
yes right but how many is ,how many degree is an angle ?
a triangle must sum up to 180 degree so i want to know each angle
so you know that the sum of angles of a triangle is 180 degree and you know that an equilateral triangle has all angles equales so this mean that an angle has 60 degree because 180 /3 = 60 yes ?
so than what is the question ?
so i dont know the angle 'T' 'S' 'R' 'Q' and 'P'
ok what you know ? that what triangle is equilateral ?
yes
you know that triangle TRS is equilateral yes ?
yes
so this mean that angle T ,angle R and angle S has 60 degree yes ?
so you know again that angle P has 120 degree and you have learned hope so much that a line has 180 degree so this mean that is angle P_1 has 120 degree so than angle P_2 need being 60 degree so than you know that angle T has 60 degree and angle P_2 has the same 60 degree so this mean that angle Q need being 60 degree because the sum of angles of a triangle is 180 degree and than 180 -(60+60) =60 ok ?
can u show me by drawing
@jhonyy9
why ? there up you have draw it
