I am willing to do the work. I want to understand. I will post questions and answers plus explanations once the tread is open. I tried to explain my answers, but I am a little unsure of myself. As always thank you~

OpenStudy (yoongilife):

There is a total of three questions, I tried to explain my reasoning, but additional feedback from me maybe needed.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Hello, Yoongilife, Can't open your document. Could you save your doc to your computer and then upload it to OpenStudy via "Attach File?"

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I can take screenshots if you would like

OpenStudy (yoongilife):

@zepdrix that makes sense I can't say I'm completely skilled in that area of geometry, but I will try. @sleepyjess or I can take screenshots if that works?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

#2 is correct, I'm not sure on #1, so mathmale or zepdrix can probably help there :)

OpenStudy (yoongilife):

For number one, we would start by identifying which special triangle we are working with, right?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

|dw:1453869834032:dw|My mistake, I guess we're not using our special triangles here :) We're instead using the side length that they gave us.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

In case mathmale comes back, or if this is easier for any of you: 1. http://prntscr.com/9vcqd9 2. http://prntscr.com/9vcqfw 3. http://prntscr.com/9vcqie

zepdrix (zepdrix):

I used the given side to label the other 1 lengths. Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse of this first triangle.

OpenStudy (yoongilife):

Ok, so we have filled in our congruence measures which are all 1cm. Now we need to find x by using the pythagorean. x looks like the hypotensuse, so we would be finding c, right?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Finding x is a few steps away :) We're starting with this first triangle though.
