I did it. And its a very easy question, just wanted to see if you guys could get it. Not that im trying to say anything... lol. Check it with my answer when your done.

Imma gonna guess its D

 

[Jorsoft]

Guessing D. It's been a while since trig, though.

 

[zedman3d]

No trig needed. And i posted the answer so you can check if your right... lol.

 

[lancec2c30]

ppsshhh. I know there was a simple formula I needed to use. But I couldn't remember what it was.

 

[Jorsoft]

Me either lol. Oh well...the way she goes...

 

[Tool462]

can u explain how you got 129?

 

[Apokalipse]

Solution - highlight to read:
360 / 5 = 72 (the middle lines make 5 even sections, with the angles totalling 360º)
30 + 72 = 102 (adding up the two known angles inside the diamond)
360 - 102 = 258 (a four sided shape has a total of 360º when you add up the internal angles)
258 / 2 = 129 (the two remaining angles are the same)

 

[zedman3d]

^ Exactly. I was so proud when i figured it out. lol.

You can find out that the middle angles are 72 degrees each because they have to total 360, 5 angles = 72 each.

It's a 4 sided shape, so the angles will add up to 360. 360-30-72 = 258
The other 2 angles are similar, so equal. 258/2 = 129

No trig required, just geometry.
