How can I solve this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Not sure about this one. However; isn't it congruent?|dw:1458498057354:dw|

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

I have someone to help you; more than me :3 @rebeccaxhawaii

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

What's the question ?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

In attachments; he doesn't know how to solve that problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought I had to subtract from 180, but I don't know how to solve it because I don't usually work with that shape and I haven't touched on my geometry for a while.

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Yes but that's just a figure. Are you trying to find 1, 2, and 3 ?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Can you help him? Not superior in math. Wait, are you trying to find 1,2 and 3? I can help with that.

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

If you're looking for angles the sum is 360°.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm trying to find all of them, it says on my paper to find the missing measures.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know the name of the shape though (I know, its being a while)

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

That's a trapeze. So 1=80° and 2=3 and 80°+80°+2*(angle 2)=360° Solve for (angle 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so you are saying angle 1 is congruent to the angle given to us, and that to find the second angle I have to add those two and divide it by 360 or subtract it.

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Yep angle 1 is congruent to the angle 80°. And angle 2 is congruent to angle 3. And we know the sum of the angles is 360°. 1+80°+2+3=360° becomes 80°+80°+2*(angle 2)=360°

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because I think both, angle 2 and 3 are equal to a 100

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

That's correct !

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Looks like Math has it covered ;w;. Remember, congruence, I will be in the English genre :).

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so this is a trapezoid - every two angles from the top and from bottom are congruent

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so this mean that angle 1 has 80 degree too so the sum of every 4 angles is 360 degree - 80+80=160 - 360-160=200 so 200/2 =100 - this mean that angle 2 and 3 has a measure of 100 and 100 degree hope this will help you
