Answer:

a+21+57+a-30=180(angle of triangle)

2a+48=180

2a=180-48

2a=132

a=132/2

a=66

then,a+21=66+21 =87

a-30=66-30 =36

Explanation:

I think this is the answer

Answer:

66

Explanation:

The sum of all of the angles in a triangle is 180. So all three angles would add up to 180:

(a + 21) + 57 + (a - 30) = 180

Combine like terms:

2a + 48 = 180

2a = 132

a = 66
