are x and y equivalent?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I wouldn't think so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is this trigonometry?

Nope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm. I've never done this kind of thing before, or maybe I have, and i forgot. :P either way, what grade is this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok. I'm going to assume that x and y are the same measure, so solve with me- first add 56 and 51.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
107

correct. now do 180 - 107. you do this because the measure of a straight line is 180.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
73
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct. now, since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180, you are going to add up 73 and 72.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
145
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct. now do 180-145. the difference is the measure of x.

35?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah, you got it!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the measure of angle x is 35. :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thanks u were right!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no prob! now remember for in the future- the measure of a straight line is 180 and the sum of the angle measure in a triangle is 180.
