  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
    +close
    
  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

as angle anm= angle amn

#

it is given in diagram

#

oh

#

cd would be parallel to a right

#

since it is a regular polygon

#

wait, let me check

#

Because NMDC is a square with CD parallel to MN and ABCDE is regular, meaning A is at the midpoint of CD, which is also the midpoint of MN.

#

In any regular n-gon where n is odd, the bisector of any angle is always the perpendicular bisector of the opposite side.

#

And vice versa.

I mean, if you like, but considering you came here asking about it, I'd assumed you'd already tried and failed.

its either isoceles or equilateral

#

actually its more likely isoceles

flat thunder
#

it is isosceles

#

i believe techie has already suggested dropping a perpendicular from A to CD

tight hornet
#

yeah

#

it is

#

actually we could solve angle NAM and BAE

#

since its a regular polygon

#

BAE is 108

flat thunder
#

unnecessary

tight hornet
#

meaning that 2y + 180 - 2x = 108

<BAE is enough
