OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Okay, do you need help on all of the question?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

*questions dumb school computers :P

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

Lol yeah I don't know how to find the angles

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Okay, so for the first one, we know that angles MKJ and MKL are congruent, and we know that lines KJ and KL are congruent. That means that angles MJK and MLK are congruent. |dw:1447772439452:dw|

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Do you know how many degrees are in the angles of a triangle?

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

180

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes, so if we have 58 and 58, how would we find the missing angle if all 3 have to add up to 180?

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

add the 58's and subtract the sum from 180

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes! What does that come out to?

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

so <JKL= 64?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Exactly!

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

okay and what about <J

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

For the second one, can we assume that line KM makes a right angle?

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

i don't think we're allowed to unless it's given that line KM makes a right angle

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Okay, we'll do this a different way then....

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Okay, we're going to be using the entire triangle again

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

If JKM is 48, what is the angle of LKM?

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

48

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes! So now we need to add 48 and 48 to find the angle of JKL. P.S. it's 96 :P

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Now what do you think we do?

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

subtract 96 from 180

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes! That gives us angles KJM and KLM, and we know that they're congruent, so how do we find KJM?

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

divide 84 by 2?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Correct!

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

so <J is 42?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yep :)

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

okay, now the 2nd one really has me confused

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Now for the second picture

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Let's break it down.|dw:1447773148643:dw| What do those double lines mean on each side?

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

they're congruent

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes, all 3 sides are congruent, and what is the value of angles in equilateral triangles?

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

60

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes, now we get a little more complicated... What can we conclude knowing that part of angle C is 30? What would the angle inside of the smaller triangle be if the entire angle adds up to 60? |dw:1447773412014:dw|

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

30

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes, and we know that the 2 lines in the smaller triangle going from C to A are congruent, so that means |dw:1447773599437:dw|
