If DB is drawn, what is the measure of TDB? 30 45 60 90

OpenStudy (mythorius):

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

The angle measure, correct?

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

45s n 90s, kri

OpenStudy (mythorius):

I think so @gottennis121

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

Well, you know it's an acute angle, so it's less that 90 degrees

OpenStudy (tacotime):

There is not enough information. You can't know it's even acute.

OpenStudy (mythorius):

It isn't 30, is it?

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

I mean, itʻs kinda obvious what it is

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

30 is incorrect. @tacotime, if you look at the figures angle it creates, it's acute. :)

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

IF DB is drawn, it is bisecting a 90 degree angle

OpenStudy (mythorius):

I thought not. So... 45?

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

@ShadowLegendX, maybe it's not obvious to him

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Thereʻs not much information given, so we kinda have to assume itʻs a rectangular prism

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

With all itʻs properties, angles, etc

OpenStudy (mythorius):

^ Rectangular solid

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

I believe the angles measure is larger than 45, do you guys agree?

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

I could be wrong though

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

@Mythorius Same thing

OpenStudy (tacotime):

I think that if this is just a normal box the corner of it should be 90.

OpenStudy (mythorius):

90

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

Hm, that's a right triangle, try again. :)

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Also, if DB is drawn, then thatʻs a 45 degree angle created at angle DBT IF line BT is drawn, creating a triangle. So we have a 45 degree angle at DBT and RTD, so what must TDB be?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

wowow shad bravo

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Itʻs two lines bisecting 90s, @gottennis121 what is your thought process

OpenStudy (mythorius):

So it's 45? because half of 90 is 45, and the lines are bisecting the right angle

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Angle DTR and DBT are being bisected by lines

OpenStudy (mythorius):

The only option left is 60

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

When you draw lines BT and DB, you create a right triangle

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

If DBT and BTD are 45 degree angles, then what must TDB be?

OpenStudy (mythorius):

Yeah, I get that and am currently visualizing that. I've said all four and apparently none of them are right.

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Since DBR and RTD are bisected by the lines drawn, creating the 45s

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

I am so sorry @Mythorius, all this time I was reading the letters backwards (due to dyslexia). Have you figured out the question?

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

I figured it out after actually reading it.

OpenStudy (mythorius):

Yeah I got it, thank you though. That sucks that you have dyslexia

OpenStudy (mythorius):

@ShadowLegendX I'd also like to point out I have a processing disorder that doesn't let me process things like other normal people would. It takes longer for me to figure things out than it would you.
