Vocaloid (vocaloid):

not quite, check your math the bottom triangle has 3 angles: 45, 55, and y the sum of the angles is 180 what is y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok whats 45+55?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then subtract that from 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80

OpenStudy (anonymous):
