Okay guys... I've got another... Solve for x.
|dw:1426019927823:dw|
What you do is find a number that makes all the other numbers EQUAL 180 'cause triangles ALWAYS sums up to 180
So you add, 62 + 28 + 50 = 140, Now you know that so find a number that makes it = 180. 140 + 40 = 180, So X is 40, Hope this helped!
a+b=c.... is 28 an angle? or the side?
28 is an angle.
this looks like trig , no short cut 30-60-90 triangle. Have you studied trig?
Yeah a bit.
Not quite enough to completely wrap my head around the concepts entirely though yet.
when you get time, see https://www.khanacademy.org/math/trigonometry/basic-trigonometry/basic_trig_ratios/v/basic-trigonometry
Will do. Though will you explain how I find the missing side, I'm trying to catch up in class and this is the second to last question on my assignment.
