Question

Two of the angles in a triangle measure 14° and 23°. What is the measure of the third angle?

Answer 1

To find the measure of the third angle in a triangle, we can use the fact that the sum of the three angles in a triangle is always 180°.

Let's denote the measure of the third angle as x. So, we have the equation:

14° + 23° + x = 180°.

Combining like terms, we have:

37° + x = 180°.

Subtracting 37° from both sides of the equation, we get:

x = 180° - 37°.

Simplifying, we find:

x = 143°.

Therefore, the measure of the third angle in the triangle is 143°.
