Question

A triangle is formed by the ordered pairs X(–5, 6), Y(7, 6), and Z(7, 2). If mX=18°, what is mZ?

Answer 1

Answer:

mZ is 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

The three points form a right triangle with a 90° angle at Y. Since a triangle has 180°, first subtract 180-90=90°. Next, subtract 90-18=72 because mX=18°. Therefore, mZ is 72°.
