Question

What is the value of x?
What is the measure of angle C?

Answer 1

x = 29

Angle C = 93

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 29

Angle C = 93°

Explanation:

Since all of the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180° and we are given the values of angle A and angle B, we can find angle C by subtracting A and B from 180.

35 + 52 = 87

180 - 87 = 93

Thus, the measure of angle C is 93°.

Now that we know the measure of angle C, we can determine the value of x.

Set up an equation:

3(x + 2) = 93

3x + 6 = 93

3x = 87

x = 29
