Question

find the measure of angle T in the diagram, if angle R=120 and angle S=80

Answer 1

80x???? x as in a variable?

Answer 2

oh no x sorry

Answer 3

understand that angles T and U are equal to each other?

Why you may ask? because if you were to draw a line connecting points R and T together, you will create two triangles. The two triangles will be congruent to each other, because they will all have congruent sides. (The line drawn is equal to itself, yes?). Therefore, these two congruent triangles must have congruent angles.

The shape you just showed me is a kite. Having congruent angles between the short and long sides is a property of a kite, just do you know.


I think that's enough of a hint, unless you want me to continue? but I want you to try to solve it yourself now.

Answer 4

sorry I meant S and U.

Answer 5

im trying to solve it but cant. i have trouble with finding angles in kites

Answer 6

Kites are quadrilaterals.
All interior angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360.
120+80+80+angle T=360

Answer 7

Im going to close it okay? The answer is 80 degrees right?

Answer 8

ok thanks a lot. I have more problems 3 more I will be posting

Answer 9

correct.
