Question

Find the value of x in the triangle.

Answer 1

71

Explanation:

the sum of all of a triangles angles in 180 degrees so you can take 180 and subract 27 and get 153. Then you do 153-82 and get 71. So the final answer is x=71.

You can check this by doing 27+82+71 and if it equals 180 you know you are right. It does equal 180 so we know 71 is correct

Answer 2

x = 71

Explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180

x +82+27 =180

Combine like terms

x +109 = 180

Subtract 109 from each side

x+109-109 = 180-109

x = 71
