@hartnn
OpenStudy (lexi):
add all sides than x2 to get ur answer
hartnn (hartnn):
Sum if interior angles in a triangle = the exterior angle.
This is a theorem that can be easily proved.
so z = x+y
so we need to find x and y.
y is very easy to find, can you try?
OpenStudy (rz172):
Is it 131?
OpenStudy (lexi):
Good JOB!

OpenStudy (lexi):
he added x and y
OpenStudy (rz172):
What?
OpenStudy (lexi):
you aded x and y to get ur answer. wht des x stand for and what does y stand for?
OpenStudy (lexi):
to get 131 x= 16 y= 115
OpenStudy (rz172):
I got 131 because it was right next to "y"?

OpenStudy (lexi):
yes
hartnn (hartnn):
131 and y are supplementary angles.
can you now find y ?
OpenStudy (rz172):
I don't know how?
OpenStudy (lexi):
yes y equals 60 because 131+60= 190. you get ur answer by adding both. to get the sum for all corners
OpenStudy (lexi):
or for sides

hartnn (hartnn):
sum of supplementary angles = 180 :)
131 + y = 180
OpenStudy (lexi):
yup
OpenStudy (rz172):
So then now what?
hartnn (hartnn):
then you will get the 'y'
now to find x,
it is a part of a triangle with 2 angles given.
you can use the property that sum of all 3 angles in a triangle = 180 to get the measure of x .
OpenStudy (rz172):
Is x 49?

hartnn (hartnn):
x + 42 +73 = 180
and nope
OpenStudy (rz172):
So what I need to solve is "x + 42 +73 = 180" to get my answer?
OpenStudy (rz172):
Which is 65
hartnn (hartnn):
yes
hartnn (hartnn):
that gives x
you need z
which is x + y
