Four Angles, One Point
Part of the Angles section of Coddy's Geometry journey. Lesson 25 of 62.
More slices, same discipline. With several known angles and one unknown, resist touching the x until the knowns are gathered into a single number. One clean combine, one clean subtraction.
In the figure: y + (100 + 105 + 75) = 360. The knowns gather: 100 + 105 + 75 makes 280, so y + 280 = 360 and y = 80. Three numbers or ten, the shape of the work stays two moves long.
