AZ:

They're vertical angles so that means they're equal |dw:1616868662508:dw|

AZ:

All the angles in a triangle add up to 180 so what is x?

jas2024:

130 ?

AZ:

That's correct!

AZ:

Now the second one The 35 degree angle is also a vertical angle |dw:1616868856183:dw|

AZ:

Do you remember what I showed you on that other question?

jas2024:

Yeah , It jus confused me bc of the placement

AZ:

so those two angles (35 and 100) would add up to give you x does that make sense? It's because the other angle in triangle would be 180 - 35 - 100 and x plus that other angle equal to 180 so it would just turn out to be what those other two angles add up to

AZ:

Probably a better image to show it

jas2024:

so 100+35=135=x ?

AZ:

yes

jas2024:

oh . I'm still lost tho- sorry ...

AZ:

what are you confused about? Do you understand that the angle opposite is 35?|dw:1616869367035:dw|

jas2024:

yeah i got that- wait nvm

AZ:

does it make sense now? haha

jas2024:

so bc 35-100 are vertical yu add them and because 135 nd x are vertical thats ur answer ?

AZ:

no no no no no no no

jas2024:

then yes im lost-

AZ:

I think you don't know what vertical angles are |dw:1616869831325:dw| a and a are vertical angles b and b are vertical angles

jas2024:

so 35 and 100 but not 100 and x

AZ:

35 and 100 are not vertical angles if they were vertical angles then they would be EQUAL

AZ:

the angle OPPOSITE of 35 is a the vertical angle

jas2024:

sorry-

jas2024:

I'll just figure it out . thanks .

AZ:

What part are you not understanding?

AZ:

You don't need to apologize lol

jas2024:

How you got 35 and 100

AZ:

Those are the angles that are in your question

jas2024:

no yeah i mean like how did you decide to add or subtract them (this case add)

AZ:

It was because of this rule

AZ:

But if you don't understand that, that's okay!! We have a triangle and two angles are 35 and 100 what is the other angle equal to?

AZ:

Because then x (which is what we're looking for) plus that third angle equal to 180 degrees |dw:1616870437933:dw|

jas2024:

180-135=45 45=x ?

jas2024:

my brain- im really sorry ..

AZ:

no 45 is the third angle x is the angle outside |dw:1616870556648:dw|

AZ:

another way to draw it as |dw:1616870587749:dw|

AZ:

because x and 45 are SUPPLEMENTARY they add up to 180

jas2024:

135 - 45 = 135 .

AZ:

and so that's your final answer- that's the value of x and as a review- supplementary angles

I think I get it a little more now . thanks
