Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

a = 35

b = 25

Discussion:

From the topmost triangle:

90 + 55 + a = 180    =>

145 + a = 180           => subtract 145 from both sides

a = 180 - 145 = 35   (*)

From the bottom triangle we have

a + b + 120  = 180        => substitute a = 35 from above calculation

35 + b + 120  = 180     => 120 + 35 = 155

155 + b = 180              => subtract 155 from both sides

b = 180 - 155 = 25   (**)    

Note the angle at the top of the bottom triangle is a vertical angle so equals "a"

Finally, from (*) and (**) we have a = 35 and b = 25

Thank you,

MrB

The vertices of a square are A(–2, 4), B(4, 4), C(4, –2), and D(–2, –2). The diagonals of the square intersect at their midpoint
sertanlavr [38]
A(–2, 4), B(4, 4), C(4, –2), D(–2, –2)
-> select some diagonal: AC
midpoint is at A+(1/2)*AC

-> calculate vector AC:
AC=(4-(-2),-2-4)=(6,-6)
-> calculate half length of AC:
(1/2)*AC=(3,-3)

A+(1/2)*AC=
(-2,4)+(3,-3)=(1,1) which is the midpoint

so the first option is correct
