Question

How to properly do geometery?

Steps first?

Answer 1

it might be easier to demonstrate if we had some example problems you're struggling with.

but in general I'd learn the relevant theorems first (for example, if you're doing triangle geometry you'd learn some basic properties of triangles, like the fact their angles sum up to 180 degrees, isosceles triangles have two equal angles at the base, etc.) and apply them to problems. if there's a geometry problem your'e struggling with it might be a good idea to research the type of problem to see if there's any relevant theorems you can apply.

Answer 2

There were no problems. The question just says, list the example of how to solve an geometry problem

Answer 3

huh. interesting. I suppose I would start off by looking at the given information (esp diagrams, and if there's no diagram, constructing one based on the given info), then looking at what the problem wants me to find, then thinking about any rules or properties I could use to connect what I know to what I need to find out.

Answer 4

It says a supplementary angle with vertical angles attached to it.

Answer 5

oh, ok, then I would recall that supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees and vertical angles are equal, so if I know the value of one supplementary angle I'd simply subtract 180 - (that angle) to find the other supplementary angle. as for any vertical angles, they are simply equal to the angles across from them.

here's an example: https://www.ixl.com/~media/1/3Pg0rFzEXEbBnB9pSFNRR0u07n-cMGZxLzc8asEoZJz7btgU6KOh3XHswjqRs9IViAMjKsN3gYi0MwApugJ_BKwQDg_yJae6JkAGd-SPr18.svg

angles 1 and 2 are supplementary since they're on a straight line. so angle 1 = 180 - angle 2 and angle 2 = 180 - angle 1. angles 1 and 4 are opposite angles created by two straight lines, so they're vertical angles and thus equal to each other. angles 2 and 3 are also vertical angles using the same logic.

Thank you so much
