Question

2. The following triangle, ∆, has angle measures as shown.

Step 1: What is the value of x? Show your work. (2 pts.)
Step 2: What is the measure of angle C? Show your work. (2 pts.)
Angle A= 35 degrees
Angle B= 52 degrees
Angle C= 3(x+2) degrees

Answer 1

x=29. Angle C= 93

Explanation:

3(x+2)= 3x+6.

3x+6+52+35= 3x+93.

180-93=87.

87/3= 29. So that means x=29.

for proof you can do 3(29)+93 and you'll get 180.

For angle C; 3(29+2)= 3x31. 31x3= 93.

Angle C= 93 degrees.
