Question

Examine the diagram.

Answer 1

An outside angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite inside angles.

Using the information in the picture, 132 is an outside angle and x and (3x-24) are the two opposite inside angles.

Setting up the equation you would have: 132 = x + (3x-24)

Now solve for x:

132 = x + (3x-24)

Simplify:

132 = 4x -24

Add 24 to both sides:

156 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 156/4

x = 39
