I sent an image where I illustrated the way I solved this problem.
Next I did 5x= 360 then x = 72. After this I drew a line OC AND from here OB = CO. so 2x+72 = 180. X is 54. AB is a tangent then OBA is 90 degrees. Therefore 90-72 is 36. Right?

Is that correct

...what? What is the problem?

indigo quarry ...what? What *is* the problem?

Is my answer correct?

indigo quarry ...what? What *is* the problem?

Oh I need to find that small angle x

#

sullen nebula Is my answer correct?

How am I supposed to know that without knowing the question?

Sorry. AB is tangent. BC = CD = DE. find that small angle x

indigo quarry Feb 28, 2025, 10:00 PM

#

Are we supposed to assume angle C is congruent to angle D?

...I'm talking about angles, not lengths.

D is 110 yes

indigo quarry Feb 28, 2025, 10:01 PM

#

Is C????

sullen nebula Feb 28, 2025, 10:01 PM

#

Oh I think yes

#

Yes

indigo quarry Feb 28, 2025, 10:02 PM

#

Because those are such different situations that I'd hesitate to even try solving one way or the other without knowing which is correct, but also that's not indicated at all.

#

Bro I think I got this question. Thank you very much.

indigo quarry Feb 28, 2025, 10:03 PM

#

Wait.

#

If you assumed angle C equals angle D, then you didn't do it right.

#

You would have to prove that first.

sullen nebula Feb 28, 2025, 10:03 PM

#

We can do 110* 2 -x = 360-3x

indigo quarry Feb 28, 2025, 10:03 PM

#

...what?

sullen nebula Feb 28, 2025, 10:04 PM

#

Nvm thanks

#

I gotta go I’m so sorry

indigo quarry Feb 28, 2025, 10:04 PM

#

...okay... you know this is a chatroom, right? You can just... come back later...
