Hi. I feel very bad for you that you're sick. I hope you feel better soon.

With that in mind, you haven't given us enough time to help you with this. Giving you the answers would be dishonest, since it's your test. We all have actual jobs, and it's not our test; it's yours.

On the other hand, if you have a specific question, like, "How come I know angles 2 and 3 are supplementary?" please feel free to ask. But do as much as you can on your own first. You haven't done anything, am I right?

On this board, you have to show us your work, and you haven't shown us anything. We can't read your mind and figure out where you're stuck. If you tell us where you're stuck, I think you will find us all very quick to respond. But since we all have other obligations in our own lives, it will probably not be finished by 5 pm Wednesday.

I'm sorry, and I understand that this isn't very nice of me to say. But as much as I want to be "awesome," we can't just do your test for you and have you take all the credit. Maybe your parents can write a note, asking your teacher for more time, and then we can do this the right way, where (a) you show us what you've done and (b) we help you get over the bumps in the road.

2. A regular hexagon has 6 axes of rotation: the diagonals and the perpendicular bisectors of the sides.

Exterior angles problem

The sum of the measures of exterior angles of any polygon is 360°.

Therefore, (5x + 8) + (6x + 22) + (3x - 25) = 360
14x + 5 = 360
14x = 355
x = 355/14

I must have copied the problem wrong, but you get the idea....

Quadrilateral problem

Find the slopes of the four sides.
See if any slopes are equal; those sides are parallel.
See if the product of any two slopes is -1; those sides are perpendicular.

You should be able to identify what type of quadrilateral it is.

Hey, no hard feelings dude.

Opinions may vary (and from the responses posted, they OBVIOUSLY do).....

Some of us will not provide nice answers for you to copy into a take-home test or an extra-credit exercise.

WE know how to do these problems...WE could get an A on any of your tests. But...this is supposed to be a test that shows what YOU know. Personally, I will not assist with take-home tests or extra credit (except for maybe a hint or two).

Hey! I am very sick right now ...

Why are you telling us this?

As you can see from his response above, Paul is a very nice person. You are about to discover that I am not.

I told you last month to read the post titled "Read Before Posting". It outlines your responsibilities for seeking guidance at this web site.

Clearly, you cannot pay attention. This is probably the greatest factor in your failures at school.

If you would like other people to complete your assignments for you, then go somewhere else.

Got the message?

We believe you :idea:
Can't your "friend" help you?

By the way, have you been sick long enough to miss ALL the classes that covered all your questions?
