Question

What is the measure of the unlabeled angle of the triangle below?

the two angels are 72 and 26 (not a right tri)

Group of answer choices

82º

90º

98º

Answer 1

The answer is 82 degrees.

Explanation:

If you didn't know, a triangle has 180 degrees. So the first step is to add the 2 angles, 72 and 26, and the answer is 98. But hold on, the final answer is not 98 degrees. Now we have to subtract 98 from 180 to get the final answer, and 180 minus 98 is 82, so the answer is 82 degrees. Hope this helped! :D

Answer 2

Explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180°. If two of the angles are 72° and 26°, then the third angle must be 180°-72°-26° = 82°
