Can you find two angles that are identical and are in terms of ww, equate them to get an equation in ww and then solve for ww. Then you know two of the angles in the triangle and can say that the two angles + t = 180. Then solve for tt.

I done 3w+40=180 then solved that and got 46.6 is that correct so far?

I'm not sure how you got that... where did it come from? This may be useful:

I added the 2w in the triangle with the w+40 on the line and since the w+40 is on a straight line it would add up to 180 that's how I got 3w+40=180

How did you get that 2w2w in the triangle?

the "2w" in your triangle should be 72 from the alternate angles theorem, look a few posts up for the picture I posted.

Could you tell me how you would do this please?
