Have you heard of the `hinge theorem` ?

cookiemonster18 · Answer

No, not at all honestly.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

look at this image http://ceemrr.com/Geometry1/HingeTheorem/paste_image1.gif notice how the rubber band side gets longer as the angle H gets larger

cookiemonster18 · Answer

yes.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so the rule is the larger the angle, the larger the opposite side. Everything else is held equal or the same http://ceemrr.com/Geometry1/HingeTheorem/paste_image2.gif

angle BDC is given at 87 degrees

what is angle BDA ?

cookiemonster18 · Answer

87 degrees? because the angles are both alike making them congruent so they should be equal right???

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

hint: (angle BDA) + (angle BDC) = 180

cookiemonster18 · Answer

90+90=180 so if BDA and BDC=180 then they are both 90 degrees so am I suppose to subtract 90 from 87 degrees? (I'm sorry, i'm not really use to this, I'm trying though)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

angle BDA = x

x+87 = 180
x = ???

cookiemonster18 · Answer

93 degrees because 93+87=180...
