Faisal's diagram Faisal, The theorem you should try to use here:
To set the theorem up, set the angle at A equal to x degrees. Then in the isosceles triangle ABE you can figure out the measure of the equal angles at B and E in terms of x. Subtract that number from the total angle of the pentagon at B (namely 95 degrees) and you get the portion of the angle B that lies in the quadrilateral BCDE. Add the resulting number to angle D = 135; the total must be 180 degrees, so you have an equation that you can solve for x. Chris | ||||||||||||
