someone gave me wrong answer please help

imyoursgirlsgirl:

AZ:

All the angles inside of the quadrilateral add up to 360 all those angles they gave you are on the outside, and they're supplementary with the angles inside (that is, they add up to 180)

AZ:

|dw:1622116638426:dw|

AZ:

Let's find one angle at a time inside so this ? angle adds up with 65 to equal 180 so let's call that angle 'a' what is a? a + 65 = 180 |dw:1622116727751:dw|

imyoursgirlsgirl:

115

Extrinix:

\(360=65+106+78+x\) is a shorter way to solve it.

imyoursgirlsgirl:

111

AZ:

well, that would have been much easier than what I was proposing so uhh let's go with what Extrinix did haha (180 - 65) + (180 - 106) + (180 - 78) + (180 - x) = 360 180 + 180 + 180 + 180 = 360 + 65 + 106 + 78 + x 360 + 180 + 180 = 360 + 65 + 106 + 78 + x 360 = 65 + 106 + 78 + x and then solving for 'x'

AZ:

so yeah, both ways lead to the same answer but Extrinix's solution is far more elegant and less messier

Extrinix:

Lol, overthinker.

imyoursgirlsgirl:

lol
