Question

help

Answer 1

@Will.H @563blackghost

Answer 2

O.o im seeing double

Answer 3

U can do it ghosty XD

Answer 4

I know for the second part.

Since it is an equilateral each angle can only be 60 degrees. So.


\(\huge\bf{3a+4=60}\)

Simplify for a.

\(\huge\bf{6b=60}\)

Simplify for b.

\(\huge\bf{19c+3=60}\)

Simplify for c.

Answer 5

The diagram ia confusing I'll have to make one of my own

Answer 6

Oh ghosty got it XD

Answer 7

Well not the first part that one is confusing me a bit.

Answer 8

Well the whole question is confusing me XD

Answer 9

@Mathmale is the one

Answer 10

lol i think im the one most confused of all

Answer 11

Ooo ok. Due to the fact `PQ is congruent to QS` that would indicate isoceles triangle same applies to `QR is congruent to RS` so we gots to mark that one sec.

Answer 12

Is Qs a bisector?

Answer 13

If yes that would make it too easy

Answer 14

This would mean `RSQ` is congruent to `SQR` and `SRQ` is congruent to `QSP`.

Answer 15

Does that make sense?

Answer 16

kind of can you explain it in a simpler way if possible?

Answer 17

Hmmmm....

Isosceles triangles have two congruent sides and angles. Since we are given that two sides in triangle RSQ are congruent that means it is an isosceles triangle.

Since we are also given that two sides in triangle PQS are congruent that means that triangle is an isosceles triangle.

This is how im proving it to be able to solve.

Answer 18

ohhh okay makes much more sense

Answer 19

We are given that `angle PRS` has an angle of `72`. Due to the fact we proved it is an isoceles triangle we would `subtract 180 from 72 and divide by 2` since two angles are congruent. This will find `angle RSQ and angle RQS`.

\(\huge\bf{180-72=108}\)

\(\huge\bf{108 \div 2 = 54}\)

So `RSQ = 54` and `RQS = 54`.

Answer 20

@princeevee I am explaining your question here

Answer 21

Do you understand? @alexis.madero

Answer 22

yes im getting it

Answer 23

Ok good :) Its a bit complicated ^.^

Answer 24

it is lol

Answer 25

Now that we know that `RQS = 54` we can solve `SQP` since it lies on the same line which has a total degree of 180. So we subtract.

\(\huge\bf{180-54 = 126}\)

So `SQP = 126`. Now as said before this triangle has two congruent sides. So we would follow the same process as before. We would subtract this total `(126)` by 180 and then divide by 2 to find `PSQ` and `QPS`.

\(\huge\bf{180-126=54}\)

\(\huge\bf{54 \div 2 = 27}\)

So `PSQ = 27` and `QPS = 27`.

Answer 26

wow your just amazing at math ^.^ thannk you so much

Answer 27

no problem :)

Now comes the second part.

We simplify to find a, b, and c.

\(\huge\bf{3a+4=60}\)

Subtract 4.

\(\huge\bf{3a=56}\)

Divide by 3/

\(\huge\bf{a=19}\)

Answer 28

Simplify for b.

\(\huge\bf{6b=60}\)

Divide by 6.

\(\huge\bf{b=10}\)

Answer 29

Simplify c.

\(\huge\bf{19c+3=60}\)

Subtract 3

\(\huge\bf{19c=57}\)

Divide by 19.

\(\huge\bf{c=3}\)

Answer 30

That should do it :)

Answer 31

seriously your the best thanks for helping

Answer 32

No problem :)

Sorry couldnt answer on your thread @princeevee
