"Is" is the correct answer. The top and bottom lines are indeed parallel, and the two connecting lines are the same length :)
I believe it's 8 units, but I could be wrong
Okie
Thanks,
You're welcome ^.^
Yeah! For this next one, you can see that J is a right angle, which means it's 90 degrees so that means 5x is equal to 90. divide both sides by 5 and you figure out x is 18 then you plug 18 in 3x to find out what angle L is. You try it ;D
Remember that a triangle has a total of 180 degrees when each angles is added up. \(\large\bf{5x+3x+2x=180}\) Combine like terms. \(\large\bf{10x=180}\) Divide by 10 to find x. \(\bf\large\bf{\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{180}{10}}\) Plug x for L .
Okie, I'll give it a shot
@563blackghost will it always equal 180?
For triangles it will ALWAYS be 180 degrees.
Ahh okay, so let me see if I got this
They would all equal 180 and then I just continue from there?
You are only given an interior angle equal to 75 degrees, and an exterior angle of 140 degrees. Exterior angles are located outside of the shape. Since JLM lies on a straight line this means that JLM and JLK are supplementary angles (that equal to 180 degrees). So we subtract `180 - 140` equals to `40` so `40 = JKL`. Now we know of 2 angles for the triangle. Now to find the third angle we need to add the known angles `40 and 75` and subtract it with 180` to find `KJL`.
That equal 65
Yep
So 65 would be it? Or we Subtract that from both sides?
Sorry, I'm dumb for this. Its all confusing at first XD
It would be 65. \(\bf{75 + 40 + 65 = 180}\)
Ahhh
Make sure to add the angles to see if you are right ;)
Which angles?
The angles that are in the shape. Not the ones outside of the shape those are exterior.
Oh okay. So to put it all in one, you subtract the angle numbers by 180 and then subtract from both sides?
If you are trying to identify x `(such as given that the angles are 3x 5x, 6x)` Then you would add them and then divide each side by the number being multiplied with 180 `(since a triangle's angles equal to 180)`. Subtracting only comes in when you are trying to find the last angle. This is where we know of two angles and the total angle (180) but not the third. So we would add the two angles and then subtract by 180 degrees to get the last angle.
Ahh okay, makes sense. I guess I will try one and you can let me know if I'm right or not
ok
First analyze which kind of triangle it is. Based on the sides what kind is it?
I think its Quadrilateral
Quadrilaterals deal with shapes that have 4 sides. Look at this: |dw:1512405822421:dw|
Close
The triangle in the problem is an equilateral. This means that each angle is 60 degrees. So... \(\large\bf{8y-4=60}\) Add 4 to each side. \(\large\bf{8y=64}\) What is y?
And y=8
y does equal 8. The equation is kept as \(\bf{3x-3}\). \(\large\bf{3x-3=60}\) Add 3 from each side. \(\large\bf{3x=63}\) Now you divide by 3 on both sides to get x.
Ohhh if I were looking for x, then it'd be 21
For division
yea its 21
Okie, I think I got this. Thanks :)
Wish I can choose you as well for the best response
