Question

The measures of the angles of △ABC are given by the expressions in the table. Angle Measure A 48° B (6x−28)° C (2x)° Find the value of x. Then find the measures of angles B and C. Enter your answers in the boxes. x = ​ m∠B= ​ 48 º ​ m∠C= ​ 12 º

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) the value of x is $20\°$  

Part 2) $m$

Part 3) $m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Find the value of x

we know that

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to $180\°$

so

In this problem

$m$

substitute the values

$48\°+(6x-28)\°+(2x)\°=180\°$

solve for x

$8x+20\°=180\°$

$8x=180\°-20\°$

$x=160\°/8=20\°$  

Part 2) Find the measure of angle B

$m$

substitute the value of x

$m$

Part 3) Find the measure of angle C

$m$

substitute the value of x

$m$

Answer 2

A 48°

B (6x−28)°

C (2x)°

48 + 6x -28 + 2x = 180 degrees

8x = 160 degrees

x = 20

angle B = 6x - 28 = 92

angle C = 2x = 40

Double-Check

Angle A + B + C = 48 + 92 + 40

Angle A + B + C = 180 degrees
