Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your welcome and do you have anymore

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not for now, and hey, could you explain how you got 65? cos i got 70 idk why can u explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well u see 80-15=x right so you solve for x and will get 65

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you see, the whole line is 180 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 180-80 is 100 minus 15 degrees is 85

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah the opposite angle right next to it is 100 degrees and the other is 80 so 100+80=180 and 80-15=x and you solve for x youll get 65 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhh ok i think i kind of get it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im going to see if it is correct, one second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
