Question

What is the value of s?

Answer 1

Given:

Given that a triangle with angles (s - 14)°, 2s° and (s - 18)°

We need to determine the value of s.

Value of s:

Let us use the triangle sum property to determine the value of s.

Thus, we have;

`(s-14)^(\circ)+2s^(\circ)+(s-18)^(\circ)=180`

Simplifying, we have;

`s-14+2s+s-18=180`

Adding the like terms, we get;

`4s-32=180`

`4s=212`

`s=53`

Thus, the value of s is 53.
