pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok so |dw:1450143755921:dw|

pooja195 (pooja195):

What type of angles are these?

OpenStudy (jazilove):

pooja195 (pooja195):

You tell me :P What angles look like these ?

OpenStudy (jazilove):

acute?

pooja195 (pooja195):

No I mean are the linear pair, adjacent, vertical angles....? What are they?

OpenStudy (jazilove):

wow i feel dumb

OpenStudy (jazilove):

vertical, right?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Lol nawh you're find you just needed a bit of guidance ;) Yes and what do we know about vertical angles?

OpenStudy (jazilove):

They're congruent

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good can you set up an equation that we can use to solve for x knowing that they are congruent?

OpenStudy (jazilove):

8x+3=4x+7

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good now solve for x

hero (hero):

I don't know how else to say it, but (8x + 3) and (4x + 7) do not represent angles.

OpenStudy (jazilove):

Oh yea theyre sides, wow thanksxD

pooja195 (pooja195):

whoops :/ Either way they are still equal to each other xD

OpenStudy (jazilove):

true

pooja195 (pooja195):

Yeh just solve for x

OpenStudy (jazilove):

ok, i think i have it from here , thank you!(:

hero (hero):

Well, but we should make sure we're creating a rectangle instead of a square first.

pooja195 (pooja195):

@Hero seems to want to elaborate. He can help you out :-)

OpenStudy (jazilove):

Well, I got x=1, is that correct?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Yes

OpenStudy (jazilove):
