If Sam is looking at Kendra he needs to turn his head 40° to look at Tony. If Tony is looking at Sam he needs to turn his head 50° to look
Kendra. How many degrees would Kendra have to turn her head to look at Tony if she is looking at Sam?

Answer 1

To find the number of degrees Kendra needs to turn her head to look at Tony, use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of degrees Kendra would have to turn her head to look at Tony, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Let's call the angle between Sam and Kendra x, and the angle between Kendra and Tony y. We know that x + 40 + y + 50 = 180. From here, we can solve for y by rearranging the equation and substituting the given values. Once we find y, we can answer the question.
