Answer: 49 & 82

Explanation:

*the total degrees for each triangle is 180 degrees

9) Start with the triangle furthest left- subtract 71 and 57 both from 180. That leaves you with 52 degrees for that third angle. The angles that all make a straight line or straight angle add up to 180 degrees as well. Now, subtract the 52 and 65 from 180, which leaves you with 63 degrees for the first angle in the second triangle. Now subtract the 63 and 68 from 180, which leaves you with 49 degrees for that answer.

10) For this one, you will start with the triangle further right, since it already has two angles shown. Subtract the 85 and 35 from 180, which gives you 60 degrees for that third angle. Then, you can use the vertical angles to fill in its opposite angle in the first triangle (vertical angles are equal). This means that the first triangle has angles of 38 and 60 degrees, so subtract those both from 180, giving you 82 degrees for that answer.
