This sounds like a geometry question, in which a shape is involved. Could you provide us with a picture of this shape. You can take a screenshot using software such as LightShot, or downloading the file and uploading it here using the “Attach File” function.
I assume it is a triangle though, am I correct?
How would you first approach this problem?
With the information that they’ve given you
i would add 10+x+60+120-x=
but im not sure what i could equal it to, im not sure if im right on that.
Well, do you know what interior and exterior angles are?
It’s fine if you don’t know, I am here to help.
interior angles add up to 180 and exterior angles add up to 360?
Mhm, there is a specific pet we are focused on. It’s that the two non adjacent interior angles are equal to the value of the exterior angle.
So what do you think we should do?
equal the equation to 180?
Hmm, well an exterior angle and the adjacent interior angle are equal to 180, but since we don’t know the value for C, that would be two unknowns in our problem ( including x). You. Can’t solve an equation for a varaibalr with two unknowns.
so i don't equal it to anything and i solve it like that?
No
Since the two non adjacent angles ( a and b) are equal to the exterior angle ( angle a c d), equal the values of a + b to angle a c d, which is he exterior angle.
