Question

Find X. Answer in degrees and minutes Round to the nearest MINUTE. y= 49 degrees 6' z = 23 degree 19'

Answer 1

The sum of angles in a triangle is givento be 180 degrees.

This means that:

`x+y+z=180\degree`

We're given the values of y and z in the question. We can substitute these into the equation above:

`x+49\degree6^(\prime)+23\degree19^(\prime)=180\degree`

We can solve it as shown below:

`\begin{gathered} x+72\degree25^(\prime)=180\degree \\ \therefore \\ x=180\degree-72\degree25^(\prime) \\ x=107\degree35^(\prime) \end{gathered}`
