I really need help again you guys. For those of you who remember my last help thread...yea, math is not my strong point. Can ya'll help me figure out this question?
"Prove that if the supplement of an angle exceeds three times its compliment of the angle by 2n degrees, then the angle contains 45+n degrees.”
I hate this problem. I’ve been at it for over a week now and still can’t get the answer. My teachers said that the supplement was 180 degrees, and the complement was 90 degrees... Neither my mom, dad nor I have any clue how to figure this. So please, a bit of help from the math whiz's here?
the question doesn't really make sense... well not to me at least, i'm in the smart class but i'm not a know it all genius so i won't be much help, i'll just provide comical relief every now and then :P
I just worked the problem, and although the directions are a bit confusing, it does turn out to be true. You first need to convert the problem into a drawing with the five important angles clearly labeled (180 degrees, 90 degrees, phi, theta, omega). Then use the problem to write our three different relations between the various angles in your drawing. You will have a system of three equations with four unknowns, so you final answer will depend on the value of 'n'.
That was me you were telling Keith.......remember??? ;=) I have been so busy trying to disprove that answer, but it turns out you & Caedes were right all along....

I always had to hire a tutor for math. I took logic and critical thinking instead of math because I have to talk out problems and not do periods, carrying, conversions etc. I am a beleiver in calculators and find it even hard to know what buttons to push to get the answer. I preferred P.E.
I believe the correct answer would be "I'm going to be (insert career that has nothing to do with trigonometry or whatever we were discussing here) so it doesn't matter".
