Find E A. 60° B. 100° C. 120° D. not enough information

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it's A

OpenStudy (welshfella):

why do you think its A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All congruent 60 = 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360-60=300 then you divide by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is B

OpenStudy (welshfella):

oops i missed that the other 3 are congruent yes but E is not = A . if they all add up to 360 then the other 3 add up to 360-60 = 300 degrees

OpenStudy (welshfella):

and these 3 are congruent so what is the values of each of them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes 300/3 = 100

There is a very interesting propert when it comes to cuadrlaterals, wich is that any pair of opposite angles are supplementary angles, wich means they sum up to 180 degrees. So, let's take for instance the line CF and extend it, wich will mean that <c+<F=180 thereby <f=120 degree. Applying the property that i stated above, that must mean that <C + <E=180 and <F+<D=180. But we are only interested in the angle <E: \[<C+<E = 180\] \[60+<E=180\] \[<E=120\]
