I need help please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a few geometry questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shoot. I'll see what I can do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, Well I'll draw up he first problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1420944065806:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question asks to find value of x and Y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what's the degree's of a straight line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya so 180-100 would be x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you find that?

OpenStudy (bibby):

the 2 angles are supplementary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+100 =180 because its a straight line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait! Its not 100 its 110! sorry !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and if x=80 then so does the angle opposite x because they are the same. so 80+80=160 and a full triangle is what degree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok. so then it would be x=70. so then two angles of the triangle = 70(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh ok got it! I see how this kind of problem work now!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good :) glad I could help

OpenStudy (bibby):

not necessarily. all the angles of a triangle add up to 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes we know that bibby. so x=70, means y= 40

OpenStudy (bibby):

you said something about 70(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70 times 2 is both top angles. Then you just have to find what y is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because both top angles are 70, (140 all together) which means 180 (the whole triangle) - 140 = 40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm glad :)
