The hexagon is split equally, making all the triangles there equilateral, and their angles equal all 60 degrees. That automatically makes angle one and three 60 degrees. For angle two, there is a line, splitting the triangle in half. There are two ways to consider this:

1. Think about the 30°, 60°, 90° special triangles.

or 

2. divide 60° by 2, and having 30° in return.

Algebra help please!A high-speed train travels 480 km from Paris to Grenoble, France, at an average speed of 180 km/h. How long will it take to reach Grenoble?

A. 0.66 h

B. 3.8 h

C. 0.38 h

D. 2.7 h

Answers

To solve this you would use the equation, d=r*t. So you would take 480=180*t. Or you could use t=480/180. The answer would come out to 2.66 hours, which means the answer would round up to 2.7 hours. The answer would be D.
