Question

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Solve for x.

Answer 1

x = 36

Explanation:

A triangle is always a 180 degree angle, so add up all of the angles and subtract it to 180

57 + 87 = 144

180 - 144 = 36

x = 36

Answer 2

The angle measures 36

Explanation:

180 - (87 + 57)

180 - 144 = 36
