I know what x is, x is a letter!

Took about a minute. I is smart.

No one who writes anything in Comic Sans is believable when it comes to difficulty. =P

It's so easy, x = 225.

When did they start using letters in maff?

I got it, but there's probably a way to do it in less than the 5 steps that I took.

I don't see the difference between that one and the second one, it has the exact same knowns and unknowns with different numbers.

Wait, I think I got it. That's really simple.

I was told there would be no math.

10.

That wasnt very hard...

No.

Yay! Let's math some numbers!

I got lost at the angle part.

Took me about 2 minutes, and I actually found out what was going on before I got to x.

/back to homework after that little brain break

The angle of the dangle is proportional to the..........

I don't feel like it.


/Goes to do music theory h/w instead.

Score...

x = porn.

I thought everybody knewed that.

i don't know how it took this guy days to solve. i was able to figure out most of the angles just by looking at it for a couple minutes and if you keep chipping away the answer shouldn't be that hard. i don't like geometry so i lost interest after a while but i'm sure people with basic math skills can get this.

"thats a RIGHT triangle, you idiot!"

"d'oh!"

This. I retract my shamefully incorrect Boobies.

I majored in cocktail banter in college. I can tell you how many shots it takes to make a serority girl take off her panties but that is the extent of my math ability. Geometry sucks unless your talking about the angle of my peener as it enters the above mentioned serority girls vajajay....

That's not hard, unless you don't write anything down

You have two angles of the bottom triangle. That means you really have all three. The third angle is one of the angles in the triangle with the to-be-determined angle. Also take that third angle and subtract it from 180, those are your other two angles touching that vertex.

Basically just look at all the various triangles and fill in the missing angles as you can until you get to the solution. If you want to write a proof, then it's more work to remember the specific rules.

Who greenlit this piece....?



Mods on break, I'm running things for now.

My name is Pythagorean, so I am getting a kick out of this thread.

Then what's the answer?

Because the steps you just outlined aren't enough to determine it.

Are you sure you have the correct answer?

Why would your parents name you an adjective?

Provide a step-by-step proof.

Faster fingers than me, but yes... this is precisely the answer.

tinyarena: you are a girl right?

HA!

shanrick: I was told there would be no math.

Beat me to it.

CED + x + AEB = 180
CDE + EDB + BDA = 180

AEB = 130
ACB = 20
BDA = 40

So,

CED + x + 130 = CDE + EDB + 40
x = CED + CDE + EDB - 90

CED + CDE = 180 - ACB = 160

x = 160 - 90 + EDB = 70 + EDB

EDB + x + AEB + 20 = 180
EDB + x + 150 = 180
EDB + x = 30

and

EDB = x - 70

x + x - 70 = 30
x = 50

Didn't draw crap on the diagram. Meh, probably did something wrong.

Jesus, I looked at this and feel like a dumbtard. I haven't opened a math book since I left school. Don't really make use of a lot of geometry in Business programming.

To solve the problem, you will need to draw a few more lines inside the triangle.

I'm sorry, the level of effort you demand exceeds the limitations of my interest.
