Question

What is the value of p?

Answer 1

Given:

The given figure is a triangle.

The angles of the triangle are 43°, p + 12° and 4p

We need to determine the value of p.

Value of p:

The value of p can be determined using the triangle sum property.

Thus, we have;

`43+p+12+4p=180`

Adding the like terms, we get;

`55+5p=180`

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 55, we have;

`5p=125`

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we have;

`p=25`

Thus, the value of p is 25.
