Question

Find the measure of each angle in Triangle ABC

Answer 1

m<A = 133 degrees

m<B = 17 degrees

m<C = 30 degrees

Explanation:

In a triangle, all the angles add up to 180 degrees.

So, adding all the angles gets us,

39x + 24

This equals 180 degrees so,

39x + 24 = 180

Subtract 24 from both sides,

39x + 24 - 24 = 180 - 24

39x = 156

Divide both sides by 39

x = 4

Now we have x = 4, we use this to plug in each equation of the angles.

m<A = 40(4) - 27 = 160 - 27 = 133

m<B = 25 - 2(4) = 25 - 8 = 17

m<C = 26 + 4 = 30
