Question 4   ('<' means angle)
Part a)
Triangle ABC is equilateral --> therefore <DAX = 30 (= <CBX)
Therefore triangle ADX = triangle BXC and both are isosceles
Hence, <ADX = 75
<CDX = 90 - 75 = 15
<DXC = 180 - (15 + 15) = 150

Part b)
From above, <CDX = <XDC = 15


Is that right?

Correct

Hence, <ADX = 75   <-----

How did you find that? >.<

triangle ADX = triangle BXC and both are isosceles, that's the key

Let <ADX = x
30 + 2x = 180
x = 75

There you go, those questions were pretty hard for me aswell, but i managed to get up to 1H (or whatever one the ellipses, circles and hyperbolas were).
1d is probably the hardest exercise in chapter 1, the rest are fairly easy :)

Once you've opened it click the floppy disc icon on the top left

Post by: cohen on December 08, 2010, 01:03:44 pm
You just click download now, and save it to where you want to? That's what i do at least :S
Or if you clicked open, go to your temp folder where the folders go to (E.g. for me its C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp)
