Is my answer correct?

Vocaloid:

hmm I got something a little different for inscribed quadrilaterals, opposite angles add up to 180 you have two opposite angles, so 3x + 1 + 2x + 9 = 180 solve for x *important* once you have x, plug it back into m<A = 2x + 9 to get the final measurement

Noodlearms:

Ohh, so it would be 180?

Vocaloid:

How did you get 180? Solving 3x + 1 + 2x + 9 = 180 gives you x = 34 Plugging it back into 2x + 9 gives you 77

Ava1:

I got 25 degrees First you put angle A and angle C equal to each other then you solve and fill in x in angle A's equation 2x+9=3x+1 x=8 2(8)+9 25

would it be angle A and angle C adding up to equal 180 or would angle's A,B,C, and D add up to equal 180? I got 25 degrees for angle A. I might be wrong

Vocaloid:

Opposite angles add up to 180 Therefore angles A and C, which are opposite angles, add up to 180.
