I'm cracking up
Ok I don't know whats happening but I could have sworn I saw this posted by ahgua last night. Having figured it out I returned to post the answer and I can't find the post for the life of me! Maybe ahgua deleted it, I don't know, but at any rate I redrew a picture of the problem so I could post the answers.
w = 70 x = 90 y = 110 z = 110
A logarithm is just a misspelled algorithm.

Re: I'm cracking up
Well, mortals, where are my compliments? ;-)
Well maybe no one bothered to answer this because it was too easy. :-(

Re: I'm cracking up
Hey! Only I get to call people mortal around here.
Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

Re: I'm cracking up
How do you solve it?
I am lousy in these kinds of things
Well, i get the same answer, but i was unable to prove that z=y
Please tell me how to prove

Re: I'm cracking up
Mikau, Ahgua.....I am sorry, yesterday, when I was
trying to copy the diagram, I saw two same posts
(maybe, I thought I saw) of the diagram, to simplify,
I tried to delete one, and the entire post and got deleted.
I shall be much much more careful in the future,
and thanks for posting it before I requested you!
Nice question, brilliant reasoning.
Character is who you are when no one is looking.

Re: I'm cracking up
And excuse my spelling of icosceles, I'm a math freak not a spelling wizard.

It is a really good problem and solution.
