Question

What does x= ? In the triangle shown above

Answer 1

Your answer would be 34°.

This is because a triangle adds up to 180°.

So to find the missing side we work with what we do know.

We know that one side is 50° and the other side is 96°

To find our third side add up the two sides we do know so adding 96 and 50 together will get us 146.

Then we subtract 146 from 180° because 180° adds up to a triangle.

Subtract and you get an answer of 34°.

Have a great Day!
