Algebra.Com's Answer #538671 by Okamiden(22)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This MIGHT be a theorem or rule that is simply given to you somewhere in your book, but you can see it for yourself and understand it better! I've attached a picture of what I mean below. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Simply, I drew out your 4 points on a graph, at random, to help you notice something: \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "http://i.imgur.com/HkbTsh5.png \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "As you can see, we have this set up. Notice that the angle ABC is simply the angle ABD + angle CBD. It makes sense, because the segment BD is in both these angles, and your book's theorem is probably something like \"ABD + DBC = ABC, assuming ABC is the biggest angle\". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "If ABC wasn't the biggest angle, the equation wouldn't work, you'd get a weird result in this case. I don't think the book wants you to explore this possibility. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Now that we know ABD + CBD = ABC, it's simple. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "x+25 + 3x-10 = 75 \n" ); document.write( "4x+15=75 \n" ); document.write( "x=15 \n" ); document.write( "ABD=x+25=40 \n" ); document.write( "CBD=3x-10=35\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
