Angles Part 1

The way you can tell when to set an equation of 90 or 18
is by first looking at the angle. If the angle has a straight
line then its a supplementary angle which in other words
it measure's 180 degrees.
Now for 90 its a different story. If you set an equation for
90 degree's it has to be a square just without the top and
the right part of the square.
If we setg angle's equal to each other means that those angles
are vertical angles.
If we are solving for x and you find what x is and you think you
got the answer. THEN THINK TWICE!!!!!!! Cause your wrong
After you find x you are suppose to plug in the number and substitute
x for that number.
Congruent means the same, And if your wondering yes vertical angle's
are congruent. Complementary and supplementary can be congruent.

Vertical angles

Congruent are angles that have the same measurement.
You know when you have vertical angles because they intersect
if one side equals to 50 degrees then the other side equals to 50 degrees also.
A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides
No you can not find the others sides of a quadrilateral.
You have to have 3 sides.

Thats basically it for Vertical angles.
Hope this helps.

Pythagorean Theorem

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem in real life to find the
angle of something, Or you can use to to see if a triangle is a
right triangle or not.
The Pythagorean Theorem is useful because if you want to find
the missing side of a ramp or anything.
Pythagorean Theorem relates to solving equation because
if they give you an equation about finding the missing side of
a triangle.

Laws Of Exponents #1

Can we expand any variables with exponents?
I don't know can we. Lol nah let me stop.
Yes we can, For example if we have w to the seventh power.(w^7)
The expansion way to write that is.
w*w*w*w*w*w*w, And thats basically it.
The exponent of the term y is y^1.
x*x is x^2 . It cant be x because were combining them
The pattern im noticing is that when you multiply exponents you have to add the exponents.
For example. w^2 * w^2 is the same thing as saying w^4

Laws Of Exponents #2

I'll explain the laws of exponents to a third grader.
Well to start off in the laws of exponents
when you multiple you have to add the exponents
and when you divide you have to subtract the exponents.
I'll show you.!!!
Lets say we have a problem like A^5 * A^8
In stead of expanding it you could just add the exponents
and your answer will be A^13.
Another example.!!! Let say you have A^3 * A^9.
You could expand it to be - A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A.
But if you don't want to expand it just add the exponents and you will get A^12.
Now for division it is the same thing but the only difference is that you have to subtract the exponents this time. For Example !!!! A^5/A^3
( it is a fraction. A to the fifth over A to the third)
Just subtract the exponents and you will be left with A^2.

Hope this help's.
