[wag16]

Hey!
I dont understand how to find the measures of numbered angles... as in :

/

Thanks

Without any information about the angles, I'm afraid there is no way to find their measures. Sorry.

Please post the specific exercise with which you are having difficulty. Thank you.

Hey, Im sorry about that... kind of new to this whole math on computer things.. haha but anyways
...


I have the Glencoe Mathematics book by McGraw Hill... chapter 2, page 121 numbers 13-15.... and it says.. "Find the measure of each angle."
Do you have this book or anyway of finding out how to get the picture?
Thanks so much...

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of math books currently and recently in print. No, I'm afraid I don't own them all. You'll need to post the question, for us to know what it is.

Thank you.

For information on how to insert images, please review the FAQ. Since I don't know what equipment or server space you might have, I wouldn't know what steps you would need to take on your end to scan the image and post it somewhere on the web.

Why not simply ask someone who knows?
Is there no computer people at your school?

It appears you have attempted to portray "Supplementary Angles". They should sum to 180º.

Without a real drawing and problem statement, there isn't much else to say.
