Answer:

  • ∠A = 77°
  • ∠B = 41°

Explanation:

Given a triangle with angles marked (2x-5)°, x°, and 62°, you want the measures of the unknown angles A and B.

Angle sum

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. That means ...

(2x -5)° +x° +62° = 180°

3x° = 123° . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 57°, collect terms

x = 41 . . . . . . . . divide by 3°

Missing angles

Angle A is ...

(2x -5)° = (2·41 -5)° = 77°

Angle B is ...

x° = 41°

Angle A is 77°, angle B is 41°.
