What is the first step in proving that the sum of the measures of triangle XYZ is 180 degrees?

1 answer:

6 0

In geometry, the definition of a triangle is a two-dimensional closed figure with three sides. Aside from this, it is proven that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. This is a triangle's innate property. Therefore, any closed shape with three sides is a triangle and it follows that the sum of the three angles is equal to 180°.

It is logical therefore, that the first step in proving this is by using the definition of a triangle.

What is the measure of DA? 15 90 105 165

seraphim [82]

Answer:

D. 165

Step-by-step explanation:

if A+n=180

75+90+n=180

165+n=180

n=180-165

n=15

A+n=180

A+15=180

A=180-15

A=165 (D)

How do I find X in this problem

pogonyaev

You know that BC is congruent to x so you need to solve for x using the ratio:
$\frac{12}{24}=\frac{x}{BC}$

So then we need to find BC.

We know:
$A=\frac{base \times height}{2}$
$28=\frac{BC \times 7}{2}$
Therefore BC =8

Then:
$\frac{12}{24}=\frac{x}{8}$
$x=8 \times \frac{12}{24} = 4$
