OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

I Don't Understand What To Do

OpenStudy (serenity74):

@imqwerty help Braydon pls I am kinda tired

OpenStudy (serenity74):

@BraydonLevi99 @imqwerty will help you I am too tired sorry

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

It's Okay.

OpenStudy (serenity74):

okay so the fool is here lol I am so sorry Brayd! SORRES!

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

Levi - what figure is this - do you know it ?

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

I Have NO Idea How To Do This.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

can you answering my question please ?

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

Oh LOL It's a kite/parallelogram??

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

not really how are the opposite sides of a parallelogram ?

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

Congruent? Idk...

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes and parallel - but in this case not are parallel - yes ?

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

No they are not

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than this is a rectangle with two and two sides equals - yes

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

adjacent sides are equals - yes ?

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

Hos is it a rectangle??

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

Yeah

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

I Just Wanna Know HOW To Do The Problem...

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you know how many is the sum of angels of a rectangle ?

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

Either 180 or 360

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

easy boy - i will help you but step by step - ok ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

180 is triangle so than a rectangle has 360 - ok ?

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

Okay

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so Levi how you think these diagonals how divide this rectangle ?

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

I Don't Comprehend...

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

suppose in this case is importantly longer diagonal

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why not - check there on image - these diagonals are bisectors too yes ?

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

Sure

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so do you know what mean ,,bisector" ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what mean bisector of an angle ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what make with angle ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so separate in two equal parts - sectors - ok ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you see the longer diagonal divide this quadrilateral in two equal sector - so than this quadrilateral has total 360 degree the sum of angles - so how many will be a half part of these angles sum ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

Levi - please you cooperate - immediate we get the right answer - ok ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

360/2 = ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

Levi are you here ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so the half part of this quadrilateral will have 360/2 = 180 degree - so this mean that the sum of angles from this down part of this triangle will be 180 degree - but you know again that this 180 = x+6 +2x + 2x-4 so result 180 = 5x+2 178=5x x = 178/5 so do you understand it now ?
