Question

Given the following triangle,solve for angle C

43 degrees
56 degrees
76 degrees
81 degrees

Answer 1

The answer is 56 since you do 34 plus 90 and subtract that from 180

Answer 2

56 degrees

Explanation:

Total angle measure of a triangle - 180 degrees

a square on an angle indicates that it is a right angle, or 90 degrees.

Another angle is 34 degrees.

<a + <b + <c = 180

Add them together then subtract them from the total angle measure (180)

90 + 34 + <c = 180

124 + <c = 180

124 - 124 + <c = 180 - 124

<c = 56
