It’s pretty long but definitely doable

#

Just from looking at it you can find all angles and split it up 2 different ways to get triangles -> find areas

@harsh surge

#

help me find another angle

mortal ruin
#

i got stuck at that exact point 💔

#

well actually i did more but then realised it was wrong

feral leaf
#

they are not bro

mortal ruin
#

you can split the kite at the top into 2 triangles i think (the one with corners ECG)

one of the triangles will have angles 54 and 36

#

ah nvm that still wouldn’t help to get a new angle

ts is never coming up 🥀

feral leaf
#

none is asking whether it is coming or not

#

we are asking for help here

wet tinsel
#

Bro the question

#

Is not possible

feral leaf
#

ok

#

fine

manic nova
#

there’s a mistake in the question

zenith marlin
#

haven't read the q myself but there ya go

main hinge
#

Is that a 5 marker?

feral leaf
#

some f...kin mf

#

first statement is an assumption

feral leaf
#

it is very long to be a 5 marker

#

it is not even a gcse exam question

I think this works there’s defo a way to simplify this

#

Cba to think too much about it thou

#

Actually there may be a problem with the final produced line in the trapezium since it may not hit the vertex in which case you need to repeat with the resultant quadrilateral and so on

#

Still probably possible but you might have to introduce iteration until 3sf accuracy

wet tinsel
#

U need to assume things

#

So technically u can’t do it

#

No but where might there be an assumption in the working

wet tinsel
#

Try the q and you’ll see

harsh surge
#

?

#

You can’t assume an assumption 🙏

#

I think the easiest way to see if there is an assumption required is to see if the problem can be reposed with the same set up but have a clearly different area, which I don’t think works because of the perpendicular intersection

zenith marlin
#

the guy who made the q said he didn't know if there was a way to do it without making an assumption

#

that's written in the first line of his working

feral leaf
#

the last triangle

#

you are assuming it would perfectly fit

i showed it

#

so yes still real

main hinge

icl i thought that solving simultaneous equations were long
