Question

Need help finding the sides of an irregular shape.

Answer 1

give me a sec to put up the pic

Answer 2

here it is

Answer 3

Would it be possible to post a .jpg file by screen capture or something?
I do not open MS office files.

Answer 4

yeah, hold on for a moment

Answer 5

Thanks! :)

Answer 6

does it work now?

Answer 7

Yes, I see it \(very\) well!
The 84\(^\circ\) applies to which angle? FGC?

Answer 8

My mistake, it belongs to angle BCD

Answer 9

I suppose you have more information than just the diagram, for example,
do you know angles D,E,A,B,C and F? All of these will change the shape of the figure.

Answer 10

The best way to solve these problems is to try to draw it with the given information.
If you cannot draw it, then some information is missing.

Answer 11

no, that's why am confused. My teacher posted the answer key. Angle G is 84. side BC is 33.6 side ED is 7.5 and side EF is 12.5. But I don't understand how this is so.

Answer 12

I think he or you forgot some information.
Given a figure like that, we cannot assume anything unless we are given, for example,
we can\(not\) assume:
angle BAD is 45 degrees
angle D is 135 degrees
lines AE and ED are collinear,
angle EFG is 45 degrees,
angle FGC is 90 degrees, etc.

All this information must be explicitly given when we deal with geometry.
Without all this additional information, we cannot correctly give a solution.

Answer 13

Thank you

Answer 14

I will ask for help tomorrow morning about this.

Answer 15

I am sorry, but it doesn't look like I could do more at this point. Perhaps your teacher has assumed or indicated certain other information that you might find tomorrow.
Good luck!
