Homework Study Helpers! =P discussion

If you have no idea what perimeter is then this is the discussion for you! Any questions about geometry here.

I'll probably be posting a lot here. XD I really need help in Geo.

No prob I'll help

Thanks so much!

You think you could help me with a few questions right now? *hopeful*

Ask them and i'll tell you if I can, cause I don't have my notebook right now. lol

lol ok, thanks:

1. Write the converse of the statement. If the converse is true, then write true. If not true, then provide a counterexample:

 If x=4, then x^2(meaning x squared) = 16

And this one:

2. The complement of an angle is 25 degrees. What is the measure of the angle?

a. 75 degrees
b. 155 degrees
c. 65 degrees
d. 165 degrees

yes it's true cause see X=4 soo if you multiply x (which is 4) times 4 it equals 16

ohh ok that makes sense! ty ^^

Complement means that adding two angles you get 90 degrees sooo if it asks you the complement of 25 then you substract 90-25 and the answer you get is the correct one.

ahh you explain it so much better than my book does! thanks a ton! :)

you're welcome ;) and btw if it asks the suplement of an angle then its the same thing just with 180 degrees

ooh thanks! I actually was going to ask about that lol

ok, quick question here:(just pretend that "/" means angle since i cant find the angle symbol

if / A and / B are supplementary angles and m/A = 4m/B, find m/A and m/B

so I get what it means by supplementary now but im not exactly sure how id solve this?

Wait one sec brb ;) let me see if I can figure it out if not i'll answer it tomorrow.

Okiedokie :D

I hope I didnt just ask a super hard question o.O

I got it, here's what you do

m+ 4m = 180 (cause m is angle A and 4m is angle b and they're suplements so by adding them you get 180)

and then you get m, want me to explain how to do that too?

Oh ok I get it ..no I understand how to solve it now. thanks sooo much! :D I might actually pass Geo with ur help lol.

lol thanks !

no, thank you! lol

WTF? Lmao, I'm taking tis next year when I go to HighSchool. =P seems hard...

Major tip: Pay attention to everything. I had trouble absorbing the info and paying attention to geo and now Im paying for it lol.

same here with Algebra, was too busy reading books and talking to friends XD

Major tip: write EVERYTHING down. Every procedure, example, etc. Helps a lot. And it's really not that hard

Help please?



1. 3. Suppose that = 37. Find

I did that for my exam two weeks ago :s let me see...

okay so, I think this is the correct way to do it.....


angle 3 = 37

angle 2 and 3 and supplementary so if you subtract 180-37 you get angle 2 and angle 2 and angle 6 are the same...so the answer to angle 2 is the same as angle 6

and this one (using the same diagram)

2. Suppose that = x + 12 and = 3x – 36. Find x. Remember to include the variable in your response (ex. n=4).


thank youuuu :)

so the answer would be 143? that seems a little large..but what do I know lol

ive been using this thread as a little "quiz session" and i passed!!! yay!!!!! (ps scarlet, wut grade r u in?)

10th ^^ I should be in 11th, but my mom started me in school late. XD

(sigh of relief) i have nothing to worry about for next year!

what do you mean?

okay soo here's how you solve this one

angle 5 and angle 1 are the same. So all oyu have to do is this

x + 12 = 3x - 36 and then you get the value of x

once you get the value of x you substitute them in each ecuation and you'll get the measure of angle 1 and 5 (the answers have to be the same)

Ohhh ok..so that would be 24. YAY!

Goodness. I hope math doesnt get worse in college X[

Thanks for your help! I keep bugging you with questions lol

i mean im like terrified of taking AP geometry next year because ive seen some of the problems they do and sorta got really freaked out. but now i know that it isn't THAT impossible (no offense)

None taken. And this is just the first few lessons of Standard Geometry, so idk if it gets harder...I'm sure it does.

You like math and I dont, so this should be no problem for you! ^^

me too!! i should be in 11th grade but here in mexico we start school a year later or something like that

darnit!!!!

AP Geometry exists? O_o

yes.

WHAT ABOUT UNICORNS??? :O

No sweetie

OMG gimme one!!!! i want one!! gimme gimme gimme!!!!

Sara wrote: "yes."

Would that be AP Java? or ... O_o I swear I've never heard of AP Geometry.

do you know wut ap stands for?

Advanced Placement considering AP tests are in a week and half? O_o

Yes they do! They dooo!!!!!!!! I believeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee O.O
