Question

A straight angle is broken into 3 angles. The first angle measures 38°, the second angle is a right angle. What is the measurement of the 3rd angle?

Answer: The measurement of the 3\large ^{rd} angle is

Answer 1

52°

Explanation:

So, we basically know that,

A straight Angle=180°

When it has been broken into 3 pieces, we have gotten one which is 38°and a right angle.

Now , we know that

A right angle= 90°

So, we need to do,

Sum of known angles= 38+90=128°

Lastly,

Unknown angle = 180° - 128° = 52°

Answer 2

52°

Explanation:

Let the measure of the third angle be x°.

Since, straight line is broken into three angles. So, the sum of all the three angles will be equal to 180°.

38° + 90° + x = 180°

128° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 128°

x = 52°
