Question

One angle of a triangle measured 95

the other two angles are in a ratio of 5:12what are the measures of those two angles

Answer 1

Both angles: one = 25 degrees, the other equals 60 degrees

Explanation:

Do 95 + 5x + 12x = 180.

x = the angle.

95 + 17x = 180.

minus 95

17x = 85

divide by 17.

x= 5

then do 5(5) and 5(12) to get your two angles.

Answer 2

25 and 60

Explanation:

One angle of a triangle measured 95

the other two angles are in a ratio of 5:12, what are the measures of those two angles?

So 95 + 5x + 12x = 180

(Combine like terms)

95 + 17x = 180

(Subtract 95 from both sides)

17x = 85

(Divide 17 from both sides)

x = 5

Now plug 5 into 5 and 12

5x = 25

12x = 60

60 + 25 + 95 = 180 :)
