Thanks for saying that but I am using a new program geogebra and don't yet have it under control. I have always preferred numerical work and tended to scoff at geometry. Hating it like it was group theory. But lately there have been several geometric construction type problems here and I found them interesting to work on. This is my favoritte:

http://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic … 91#p148391

Geogebra because it dynamically computes lengths, angles, areas in real time solved the problem quickly. Reducing my algebra to just a show.

This is what I did for 2335, where did I go wrong?

For i)

90 + 80 - 26  - 28 + 15 = 131


For iii)

90 + 50 - 40 - 28 + 15 = 87
