#

rectangles have lots of symmetry

#

the distance from the center to each of the vertices is the same

#

okay how am I supposed to solve the problem

#

its essentially not a rectangle I am working with but lins

#

a line

#

SV is 15, RV is the same length so

#

3x+6=15

#

maybe

#

I solve that

sturdy cosmos Aug 26, 2023, 12:07 AM

#

yes!

#

From 3x+6=15, you need to subtract 6 from both sides

sturdy cosmos From 3x+6=15, you need to subtract 6 from both sides

okay look

#

-5x=8+118=180

#

I have

#

this is a new one

#

I thought it would be -5x-8=118

#

but it wasnt so I tried -5x=8+118=180 but it also wasnt

#

what am I doing wrong

sturdy cosmos Aug 26, 2023, 12:18 AM

#

the two angles add to 180

neat pecan Aug 26, 2023, 12:18 AM

#

I mean -5x-8+118=180

#

not =

sturdy cosmos Aug 26, 2023, 12:18 AM

#

yes

#

x will be negative. That's fine

neat pecan Aug 26, 2023, 12:21 AM

#

okay

#

it appears they are all the same so I dont have to worry about not knowing anymore

#

once you know how to actually solve it, math isnt bad

Glad it makes sense!
