For what value of x is ABCD a rhombus, if m

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

OpenStudy (templeguy):

What did she say at 0:11 in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmT6srqyGGQ

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Considering the angles, \(\begin{array}{ccc}&\angle\;DAC&=&\angle\;CAB\\&3x+4&=&4x-3\\&x&=&7\end{array}\)

OpenStudy (templeguy):

answer mine first

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

Can you help me with my geometry ? @Sachintha

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Sure.

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

ABCD is a trapezoid. Find the value of x and y .

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Do you know the total of the angles inside the trapezoid?

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

no

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Angles inside the trapezoid add up to \({}360^0\). So can you form up an equation with this?

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Ohh you don't need to consider that. There's a much easier way.

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Form equations. |dw:1464256260814:dw|

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

huh? that adds up 360...?

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Yeah. \(127^0+x+74^0+y = 360^0\) or \(127^0+x=180^0\) and \(74^0+y=180^0\)

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

I'm doing something wrong ..

OpenStudy (sachintha):

What?

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

never mind .

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Didn't you get how every angle adds up to 360 or else..?

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

yes,I just got a little confused for a moment

OpenStudy (sachintha):

When you cut the shape with a diagonal you get two triangles each with the sum of interior angles adding up to 180. So 2*180 = 360 |dw:1464256859322:dw|

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

okay...

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Solve these two to get the values of x and y. \(127^0+x = 180^0\) \(74^0+y = 180^0\)

OpenStudy (sachintha):

I used here allied angles to form the equations. |dw:1464257919727:dw|
