Answer:

15. x = 112 degrees

18. x = 120 degrees

Explanation:

15.

A triangle's angles always equal 180 degrees so we can find the two unknown angles by subtracting 44 from 180 and then dividing it by 2.

2a + 44 = 180

2a = 136

a = 68

Each unknown angle equals 68 degrees. The line from 44 degrees to x degrees segments a line that has a 180 degree angle so we can subtract 68 from 180 to get x.

x + 68 = 180

x = 112

18.

We can use the same concept here but now every angle equals each other so we can divide 180 by 3 to get the measure of those angles.

3a = 180

a = 60

Now we do the same thing as last time to find x.

x + 60 = 180

x = 120
