Question

7. The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. One angle measures 45 degrees. The measures of the other two angles are equal. What are the measures of the other two angles?

Answer 1

The other two angles are 67.5 degrees

Explanation:

180 - 45 = 135

135 / 2 = 6.75

Answer 2

67.5 degrees

Explanation:

First we subtract 45 from 180 to get the sum of the other two angles, then we half that to find the individual size of the two angles, giving us 67.5 degrees.
