Re: AnglesLook at shape its "S" angles.
so STQ = TQR
Therefore TQU = 100-X
As it is an isoceles triangle as 2 sides are same so the adjacent angle QUT is also 100-X
Therefore to find angle QTU we do:
Sum of angles in triangle = 180 degrees
=180-(100-x)+(100-x)
=180-(200-2x)
=-20-2x
=(2x-20)degrees -

It is one of the rules of this forum not to post solutions. Plus in this case it's much more beneficial for the OP to work through the problem himself considering his exam is coming up very soon. -

Re: AnglesIts equal you can always reverse signs.(Original post by zed963)
How do you get from -2x to 2x
or think of it as multiplying whole thing by -1.
ye its z angle so you know its 100-x -

Re: AnglesHope my bank doesn't agree.(Original post by wenger16)
Its equal you can always reverse signs.
Actually you made a mistake multiplying out the bracket.
180-(200-2x) = 180-200 + 2x = -20 + 2x
