@dude

dude:

1. Angle FAP lol

dude:

Okay anyway, they said that FAP is a bisector to the angle EAF Bisector means it is splitting it in 2 If half the angle is 24, what should the total be?

silvernight269:

I spent 15 min doing this and still cant figure it out...

silvernight269:

48 degrees

dude:

|dw:1542681003965:dw| Lets say this angle is 100ยบ If it is spilt into 2, what are the angle measures? (In color)

dude:

Right

dude:

So \(2\angle FAP = \angle EAF\) AKA \(48=6x+5y\)

silvernight269:

So i did a system. And the end results i got is 6x+5y=24 and -6x+6y=18

dude:

We can't solve for this yet (2 variables) Lets look at ECP is equal to 24, since they are bisectors \(5x+9=24\) Solve for x, once you get there you can do the first problem we just wrote

silvernight269:

5x=15

dude:

Yes, now get x by itself

silvernight269:

3

silvernight269:

So i got y as 6

dude:

Right If you want to check this EAF should equal 48 \(6x+5y=48\) \(6(3)+5(6)=48\) \(18+30=48\) \(48=48 \checkmark \)

dude:

PCD should be 24 (since its half of the whole angle) \(2x+3y=24\) \(2(3)+3(6)=24\) \(6+18\) \(24=24\checkmark \)

silvernight269:

Ok so i got all the measure anlge A=48 B=84 C=48

dude:

ECP should also be 24 (since its half of the angle) \(5x+9=24\) \(5(3)+9=24\) \(15+9=24\) \(24=24\checkmark \)

silvernight269:

Ok i got all the angle. For part b (sorry) using the same diagram, if line segments AD=BC=30 and AC=48, find the length of BE

dude:

|dw:1542682604923:dw|

dude:

|dw:1542682611866:dw| The lines marked are equal Do you know pythagoreans theorem?

silvernight269:

yes

silvernight269:

uh. dude? i see blank

dude:

Oh frick why does lightshot not work for others

silvernight269:

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

you are given that the triangle is isosceles which means the bisector BE cuts AC in half and creates two 90 degree angles so if you just look at the left half of the triangle you can see it's a right triangle so you can just use pythagorean theorem to find the missing side |dw:1542683272551:dw|

Vocaloid:

so BE^2 + 24^2 = 30^2 solve for BE

silvernight269:

ok so i got 18

Vocaloid:

yeah that's what i got too

silvernight269:

ok
