Answer 3

Okay.

Answer 4

So 60 is the outside angle?

Answer 5

60+60+60=180 my bad

Answer 6

and I believe so

Answer 7

yeah it is and the x and y values are on the inside.

Answer 8

I think it is the inside angle and the triangle being equilateral triangle.

Answer 9

Hmm..no actually I think they're the angles..because 3 of the angles inside add up to 180.

Answer 10

yeah my teacher mentioned that they're the angles. they're equal and all need to add up to 180

Answer 11

I'm not sure what 3y and 2x represent..

Answer 12

me either thats where Im stuck at.

Answer 13

I think it represents the length of side

Answer 14

Send yourself an e-mail?

Answer 24

I'll draw it up just like it is on the paper

Answer 25

Go to a paint program and draw an exact replica of the paper sheet.

Answer 26

So 3y = 60
and 2x = 60
You want x and y?

Answer 27

yes

Answer 28

I guess you can say that.. :l

Answer 29

Can you solve 3y = 60?

Answer 30

That's what I was thinking..but I'm not sure if that's right.. :l

Answer 31

I think it is, and she was supposed to realize they were equal to 60 by the triangle being equilateral

Answer 32

Yeah.

Answer 33

I knew they equaled 60 each because 60+60+60=180

Answer 34

Yep, so the next part, after that, is solving the two equations,
3y = 60 and 2x = 60

Answer 35

how can I go about doing that?

Answer 36

Imagine y and x being parts.
The equation "3y = 60" says that 3 times SOMETHING = 60, how would you get that SOMETHING?

Answer 37

3 divided by 60?

Answer 38

Almost, you should've taken 60 / 3

Answer 39

yeah I know its always the biggest number first

Answer 40

but 60/3=20

Answer 41

Yep, so that is your 'y'.

Answer 42

and x is 30?

Answer 43

That's right

Answer 44

thank you !
