Answer 2

So what I thought I should have done was just subtract 90 by 54 and get your answer...but that wasn't correct.

Answer 3

What is angle IKL ?

Answer 4

126

Answer 5

I just subtracted 180- 54 because that line adds up to 180.

Answer 6

Notice how triangle IKL is an isosceles triangle. So what does that tell us about the base angles?

Answer 7

That they are congruent?

Answer 8

So the base angles are x degrees, the vertex angle is 126 degrees

Answer 9

the three angles must add to 180 degrees, so,

x+x+126 = 180

x = ?

Answer 10

27, would be the answer. so all triangles add up to 180 correct.

Answer 11

So you would do the same to the other side and have y=63.

Answer 12

you got both correct

Answer 13

Yes thank you. So I might have more questions in a couple minutes would it be okay to tag you?

Answer 14

sure I can do a few more

Answer 15

Thank you
