Question

What is the measure of angle c

Answer 1

C is the correct answer because triangles always equal to 180 degrees

Answer 2

C.
`70^(\circ)`

Explanation:

We have been given an image of a triangle and we re asked to find the measure of angle C.

Angle sum property of triangles states that all angles of a triangle add up-to 180 degrees, so we can set an equation as:

`m\angle A+m\angle B+m\angle C=180^(\circ)`

Upon substituting the given measure of angle A and B in our equation we will get,

`70^(\circ)+40^(\circ)+m\angle C=180^(\circ)`

`110^(\circ)+m\angle C=180^(\circ)`

`110^(\circ)-110^(\circ)+m\angle C=180^(\circ)-110^(\circ)`

`m\angle C=70^(\circ)`

Therefore, the measure of angle C is 70 degrees and option C is the correct choice.
