Math Question

[shelley]

x + 2x + 78 + 78 = 180
x = 8

Sigh, this is wrong, 2x is just a distraction.

Nope, it's right. There are no "distractions" in this problem.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

I realized that.
Now prove that CE = CF\

Not to you shelley

 

[Ellis]

I realized that.
Now prove that CE = CF

?

oh that was to spdcbr.

 

[spdcbr]

If you look at it visually it doesn't look like 8 degrees to me.

 

[shelley]

If you look at it visually it doesn't look like 8 degrees to me.

It's not drawn to scale. You obviously haven't taken geometry so stop trying to answer questions you don't know how to do.

 

[Ellis]

If you look at it visually it doesn't look like 8 degrees to me.

If you look at it mathematically, it doesn't equal 24.

you're right. how can we tell who's right then? einne mienne moeny mo?

 

[pcharles93]

We can tell who's right by whoever used actual logic. That would mean blah is right.

It's called math. So far we have at least 2 ways of actually getting the correct answer, which definitely beats eyeballing it.

Hahah, you're right too. So, then what degrees are the 3 angles?

We just figured out 2 of them...

 

[Ellis]

8, 78, and 94

learn geometry

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Hmm... I still don't get it...
*facepalms self in shame*
How do you know angle E equals angle F?
That is where the two 78s are coming from, right?
*facepalms self in shame again*

 

[spdcbr]

I seirously doubt that one of them is 94.

 

[Ellis]

I seirously doubt that one of them is 94.

That's because you eyeballed it.

It doesn't.

Hint: draw segments from B to A and from B to E.

That's not much of a hint.

 

[KubeKid73]

Ellis, you're right about the angles. But if he did eyeball it, he would see that the one angle is clearly larger than 90 degrees.

it's a very helpful hint if you didn't do that to begin with. however, you've made it cleared that you haven't learned geometry, so it's really not going to make a difference what hints you get.
