1) Since the sum of interior angles yields 180º, no matter which type of triangle it is.

2) Then we can write

3x+12 +x +6x +8 = 180

10x +20 = 180º

10x = 180-20

10x = 160

x= 16

2.2 Let's find out the measurement of each angle

m∠ A= x Plug into that the value of x

m∠ A = 16º

m∠B= 3x+12 Plug into that the value of x

m∠B = 3(16) +12

m∠B = 48+12

m∠B =60

3) Then the answers are:

x = 16

m∠ A = 16º

m∠B =60
