Question

Triangle has angles of x, 2x and x+8Find x

Answer 1

Given the angles of a triangle:

x, 2x and x + 8

And we have that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. Therefore:

`x+2x+x+8=180`

Then, we solve for x:

`\begin{gathered} 4x+8=180 \\ 4x+8-8=180-8 \\ 4x=172 \\ (4x)/(4)=(172)/(4) \\ x=43 \end{gathered}`

Answer: x = 43
