Ultrilliam:

40+60+20=x

Ultrilliam:

hang on I forgot a step

joshiscool:

Okay

Ultrilliam:

x-60=a

joshiscool:

a = 77 and x = 137

Ultrilliam:

not quite... ._.

Ultrilliam:

Where did you get the 7 from?

joshiscool:

i added 40 20 and 60

Ultrilliam:

how did you get 137 though?

joshiscool:

i added those and then to get 77 i subtracted 137 minus 60

Ultrilliam:

Wait, you 77, and then somehow got 137?

Ultrilliam:

alrighty, well that is not the answer, try again

joshiscool:

Im lost

Ultrilliam:

add 40, 60, and 20 together

joshiscool:

i got 137

Ultrilliam:

._.

Ultrilliam:

please show me your process

joshiscool:

40 + 20 + 60 = 120 my bad

Ultrilliam:

there you go!

Ultrilliam:

and now just solve for A :)

joshiscool:

How?

Ultrilliam:

x-60=a so 120-60=a

joshiscool:

60

Ultrilliam:

And that is A :)

SkyVoltage43:

the struggle is real huh? josh do you need anymore help or you good

Tranquility:

All the interior angles add up to 720 for a pentagon. That means: (x-60) + (x-40) + (x-20) + 130 + 120 + 110 = 720 If you solve for x, you get x = 160 Angle A is equal to x - 60 = 160 - 60 = 100 The correct answer should be 100 degrees.

Ultrilliam:

O_o

Ultrilliam:

Wait...

Ultrilliam:

Lemme double check my math

Ultrilliam:

480+120=600 I WAS DOING IT BSS ACKWARDS OOPS

Ultrilliam:

Well josh - Ignore everything I said. Pretend I wasn't here... God I'm rusty at math o-o

joshiscool:

Tranquility am i right
