Question

The sum of the angle measures of any triangle is 180°. Find the value of x in the triangle below.

(x + 17)° = 36.5°
a. x = 19.5
b. x = 54.5
c. x = 81.5
d. x = 36.5

Answer 1

The value of x in the given triangle is 19.5°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angle measures of any triangle is always 180°. In this case, we have (x + 17)° = 36.5°. To find the value of x, we can subtract 17 from both sides of the equation. This gives us x° = 36.5° - 17° = 19.5°. Therefore, the value of x in the given triangle is 19.5°.
