Question

. If two of the angles in a scalene triangle are 54° and 87°, what is the other angle?

Answer 1

39 because 54+87=141 and now u have to subtract 141 from 180 so it gives u 39

Answer 2

The answer is:

⇨ x = 39°

Work/explanation:

Bear in mind that the sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180°.

Given two angles, we can easily find the third one.

Let's call it x.

Next, we set up an equation:

`\sf{54+87+x=180}`

`\sf{141+x=180}`

Subtract 141 on each side.

`\sf{x=180-141}`

`\sf{x=39}`

Hence, the other angle is 39°.
