Answer 3

exactly! so what would you get? :)

Answer 4

i got 108

Answer 5

Awesome!

Now that we know that that angle is 108, what is this angle that I've marked here equal to?

it would be equal to 108 to right

Answer 7

Not quite, the idea we want to use there is that two angles that make a straight line will add up to equal 180

Answer 8

so then what does that angle to

Answer 9

108 + ? = 180

Answer 10

i got 72

Answer 11

Great!

Now we can put 72 here and now we have enough information to solve for x

Answer 12

wait im lost how do u find x

Answer 13

The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180

Answer 14

72 + 72 + x = 180

Answer 15

OHHH so x is 36?

Answer 16

you got it! :)

Answer 17

yay thanks i might have more problems soon
