Mercury:

hm. not quite. GEH is one half of <FEH right? and <FEH and <GFE are supplementary, right? using this information try solving for <GFE

princeevee:

31.5

Mercury:

if GEH is one half of FEH, that means FEH is 2 * GEH = 2 * 63 = 126 as stated before: FEH and GFE are supplementary therefore GFE + 126 = 180

Mercury:

solve for GFE

princeevee:

54

princeevee:

right?

Mercury:

hm lemme just double check something first

Mercury:

apparently this method only works if the sides are congruent which is not explicitly stated still figuring out how to solve it w/o this assumption

princeevee:

oh..

Mercury:

@hero @Nnesha having a bit of a brain fart, how do I solve this w/ the information given?

Mercury:

@MARC may I have a second opinion on this? my first thought was to assume the diagonals bisect the angles but then I realized the side lengths aren't given so that wouldn't automatically be valid

princeevee:

...

MARC:

I think that shape should be rhombus If it is a parallelogram,I don't think we can solve it,unless there are extra info X'D Mercury,ur working looks good so far

Mercury:

alright just making sure cuz this problem was messing with me in that case, the solution is 54 as stated before

Mercury:

I didn't really want to assume the shape was a rhombus 'cause that's a common math trap to make misleading diagrams ;_;

Mercury:

hm. not quite. it's a rectangle so opposite sides are equal therefore x^2 + 12 = 10x - 13 solve for x. as a hint, move all the terms to one side by performing the appropriate operations, then factor

princeevee:

5,5?

Mercury:

good x = 5 (don't write 5,5, since x has a single value)

MARC:

Theorem 8: A quadrilateral is a rhombus if and only if the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other. Theorem 9: A quadrilateral is a rhombus if and only if the diagonals bisect all the vertex angles. For the previous question ;p

Mercury:

good, y = 6

any ideas? as a hint: squares ~have~ to have four 90 degree angles

Mercury:

hm. not quite. remember that the midsegment is the average of the bases so add up the bases 5 and 3.2, then divide by 2

princeevee:

4.1

Mercury:

good so 4.1 = your sol'n

Mercury:

hm, not quite notice how the upper left part of the kite is a right triangle with hypotenuse = 5 and leg = 3 using the pythagorean theorem what's the length of the missing leg?

princeevee:

34?

princeevee:

5? @Mercury

Mercury:

leg^2 + leg^2 = hypotenuse^2 one leg = 3 hypotenuse = 5 solve for the missing leg

princeevee:

34

Mercury:

3^2 + leg^2 = 5^2 solve for leg

Mercury:

remember your order of operations. simplify the exponents first.

|dw:1530331954904:dw| imagine rotating your problem 90 degrees so it looks more like this the parallel sides are AB and CD making BC and AD the legs so the original statement is true

Mercury:

remember you need to square the legs too hypotenuse = sqrt(4^2 + 9^2) = ? leave in radical form w/o simplifying to a decimal

princeevee:

D?

Mercury:

what is 4^2 + 9^2?

princeevee:

97

Mercury:

good so taking the sqrt of that gives us sqrt(97) = your sol'n

Mercury:

D is actually a true statement (one pair congruent + parallel = parallelogram) let's look at A again |dw:1530332968514:dw| if adjacent sides are congruent we have a kite not a parallelogram so A is the best choice here

Mercury:

hm. not quite. slope = rise/run notice how it's rising 3 units and running 2 units

princeevee:

so 3/2?

Mercury:

good

it's slightly off from a true parallelogram so false

Mercury:

close but not quite the pythagorean theorem is leg^2 + leg^2 not leg^2 - leg^2 so the last choice should be it

|dw:1530335049710:dw| check again the formula states that there should be subtraction inside the parentheses, and addition between them
