Can someone check my answer? Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or would it be 40?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um..

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No, I don't get C. The angles in a quadrilateral sum to 360. And angles in a linear pair sum to be 180.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me try to do it again.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i don't think it is C

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok..I think I see it's not C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need 270 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I belive so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[40+80+110=230\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're missing 40 degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be 40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=40?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I'd put...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you check one more?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I don't get 40.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I picked B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@JoannaBlackwelder what do you get?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Oh, ok. Yes,I get B. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Joanna, for the first question you got 40?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or are you saying the second question is right?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

For the first question, I got 50.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

And no, the second question isn't right. :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then I'm not sure what it is...40 or 50....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh darn...I thought I had the second question. :(

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

What do you get for the sum of the 3 angles you have?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

3 angles in the quadrilateral.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

230

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

You were close on the second one though. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay...can you help me on the second, then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@JoannaBlackwelder

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Good, so what do you need to add to that to get the sum of all the angles in the quadrilateral to be 360?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Wait, do you do understand the first one? I gave you a link to the answer for the second one.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

This link has the answer to the second one: http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/geometry/gg3/lpoly1.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second questions is D?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Right! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the first question now,

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok :D

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

What do you get for the 4th angle in the quadrilateral?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do I need to do to get the correct answere. You told me 50 and others told me 40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

It can't be 40, since we need 230+(4th angle) = 360

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

That means that the 4th angle in the quadrilateral must be 130.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Then x is a linear pair with the 4th angle in the quadrilateral. So, the sum of those two angles must be 180.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

130+x=180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

50

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay...Can I ask you to check 1 last question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I['m sorry. I am not good at math

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

It's no problem. :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yes, you are welcome to ask. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yes, great job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!!

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Since the measures of exterior angles always sums to 360, each must get smaller when you have more sides. :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

You are very welcome!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats what I was thnking.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Awesome!
