Question

Find the value of x.
I'll medal if someone can show me how to work this.

Answer 1

If I am correct the 2 angles before the triangle comes is 180 degrees so 6x+x+16=180 but i'm not 100% positice

Answer 2

Yeah thats not right

Answer 3

I tried that @kayders1997 but the two lines aren't parallel I don't think. The lower line looks crooked, so this wouldn't work.

Answer 4

Hmmmm

Answer 5

I wonder if you could add the top two angles and call the unknown angle y, because we do know there is 180 degrees in a straight line

Answer 6

Let me try this again on paper.

Answer 7

Okay this one is kind of hard

Answer 8

Yeah I haven't got a clue on how to solve this.

Answer 9

I would probably be aware of what I was doing if I was taking geometry now, I haven't taken a geometry class in 2 years! It's good to look at things like this though to see if I can brush up on it while trying to help someone though :)

Answer 10

Haha well you're lucky. At least you've already gotten past it lol

Answer 11

Lol, I'm in a really hard math class right now, its tough, it kinda wiped away all the old stuff I learned like geometry concepts

Answer 12

I would be able to solve this super quickly if the lines were parallel. :/

Answer 13

Did you get this yet?

Answer 14

Yeah this one isn't so easy I wonder if you cant extend the lines? Where the triangle is?

Answer 15

No not yet @FibonacciChick666 still hopelessly lost lol

Answer 16

Just kidding that wont help us either

Answer 17

So, hint* Can you draw some perpendicular lines that might make some convenient triangles?

Answer 18

Um, diagonals?

Answer 19

no, just draw in some perpendicular lines. Not something defined per say. Can you draw some lines so you have a triangle that has a 90 degree angle?

Answer 20

Good luck @homeschooler13

Answer 21

I extended the triangle and created an angle "y". Ask if you need explanation.

Answer 22

that works, ok, so, one thing we have to do is make that line a perpendicular. That is how we make this easier
