@mhchen

mhchen:

|dw:1540229966272:dw| In this picture, you see where the angle is a right-angle? That's because it's a perpendicular bisector. Now can you find x with the help of this picture?

bill533:

yes

mhchen:

|dw:1540230494465:dw| okay so what is x?

bill533:

90

mhchen:

Yup.

mhchen:

|dw:1540230731669:dw| Now. You know that all angles inside a triangle add up to 180 degrees right? And based on the image, the top 2 angles are the same, since a bisector divides it into 2 equal parts. If all the angles add up to 180, then 90 + 47 + y = 180. Can you find y?

bill533:

i think so

bill533:

what else ?

bill533:

i can figure out the y

mhchen:

well 90 + 47 + y = 180 137 + y = 180 right? y = 180 - 137

mhchen:

understand so far?

bill533:

yes ma'am i do

bill533:

which makes it 43

bill533:

correct ?

mhchen:
