Question

side lengths of 2 inches and 1 inch and which has angle measures of 120° and 60°

Answer 1

@gabbykae is there an image associated with this problem?

Answer 2

no its asking for a parallegram idk why it didnt post the whole thing

Answer 3

Can you upload the image here using the "Attach File" function?

Answer 4

theres no image heres the full question : Draw a parallelogram that has side lengths of 2 inches and 1 inch and which has angle measures of 120° and 60°. Label all measurements and mark the parallel sides on your drawing. Include your drawing in your answer

Answer 5

Oh there we go

Answer 6

A parallelogram is essentially a figure which has a set of parallel sides

Answer 7

For example

Answer 8

A square and a rectangle are also examples of a parallelogram. Since the side lengths are two and one, we should be looking to make a rectangular shape. But since all angles of a rectangle are 90 (and this problem was 120 and 60), we should go with the shape that I drew above.

Answer 9

Do you know where the angles and side measures would go?

Answer 10

well i know that the angles would go in the corners and the side measures would go on the outside by the side that it represents

Answer 11

Try look at the drawing I posted above. If you click on the pencil in the top right corner of the drawing, you can add to what I drew. Try show me where you would put the measurements.

Answer 12

Do you see the pencil?

Answer 13

yes when i try to write where the angles would go it moves it down or in a different direction from where i first typed it

Answer 14

Oh, yeah that's a glitch we're looking to get fixed. That's why I just draw out numbers.

Answer 15

oh ok let me try that then

Answer 16

Where you click it is where it actually types, it just displays it above where your typing until your done typing, this is indeed a bug that I'm working on fixing.

Answer 17

The side lengths are good. The bottom 120 angle is good, but the top 60 angle isn't.

In this parallelogram, there are two obtuse angles and two acute angles.

An obtuse angle has a value greater than 90. An acute angle has a value less than 90.

120 > 90
60 < 90

Answer 18

For reference, this is a 90 degree angle



In math they are usually characterized as having a box written in it's corner, denoting that it is in fact a 90 degree angle.

Answer 19

that makes sense so it would be the angle that had 60 would be 120 as well?

Answer 20

Correct

Answer 21

so in a final image it would be this

Answer 22

Perfect

Answer 23

thank you so much on the quick answer and for helping me understand what to do here

Answer 24

No problem. Your instructions also say to "mark parallel sides on your drawing"

Do you know how to do that?

Answer 25

hmm im not sure i know a parallel side is one that is the same length as another but im not sure how to mark it

Answer 26

Parallel sides are sides that have the same slope

So the following sides are parallel



The way you note sides as being parallel, is by drawing an arrow on them.

For example:

Answer 27

ohhh ok that helps

Answer 28

^another example

Answer 29

When there are multiple parallel sides in a figure, you just put more arrows for the next parallel sides. Pretty simple.

Answer 30

quick question...i have to upload the sketch and it doesnt take the kind of file these images are is there a way i can make it a jpg or a different kind of file?

Answer 31

@Ultrilliam

Answer 32

The attach file button should accept any file?

Answer 33

I think he means to upload the file for the assignment, and @gabbykae is trying to download these sketches for the assignment.

Answer 34

Its A She

Answer 35

i have the finished picture but it says it doesnt accept the kind of file it is..

Answer 36

Oh, be sure to mark the sides with a length of 1 as parallel too

Answer 37

Remember, lines are parallel when they have the same slope.

Answer 38

Are you using the attach file button gabby?

Answer 39

it has a choose a file button then a select one and have to click upload

Answer 40

Be sure to add an additional arrow. Remember, when there are multiple sets of parallel lines, you need to differentiate between them. Like this example:

Answer 41

oh ok heres what the page says once i try to upload the image

Answer 42

Maybe Send a Screen Shot?

Answer 43

im guess ing what ill have to do is open openoffice and put the image in there and then use that page?

Answer 44

i used firefox screenshot to take the image and for some reason it doesnt work either

Answer 45

o

Answer 46

LightShot is a screenshot program that a lot of users utilize on this site.

Answer 47

You could try that

Answer 48

finally got it thank you guys and keep working on that writing glitch
