picture below: can't really explain it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i about to post a picture of my math problem @!Call~Me~Addi!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know it adds up to 180 because its consecutive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it too big i can't see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on i think i got this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think x=-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heres a picture from further out @!Call~Me~Addi!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and whats the work on that or well at least tell me how you did it so I know how to set it up..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just added 109 and 89 and got 198 then subtracted 180 from 198 and got 18 and i know 18 divided by two is 9 and since its subracting it would be negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but you can't have a negative angle... can you?

OpenStudy (lyrae):

|dw:1413900374766:dw| |dw:1413900447076:dw| |dw:1413900544968:dw| a = 180 - b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can be in the expression for the angle

OpenStudy (lyrae):

That relation will give you the equation \[x + 89 = 180 - (x + 109)\]which indeed is x = -9 Don't forget that x isn't the actual angle it's just a part of the angles a = x + 89 = -9 + 80 = 80 deg b = x + 109 = -9 + 109 = 100 deg @brieculver
