A series of houses/buildings that were used to help slaves escape to non-slave states so they could be free. The houses would have some sort of flag, blanket, or symbol marking it so slaves knew it was safe. The slaves would travel from house to house until they were, hopefully, able to get to freedom. If the person helping or the slave got caught however: they would be punished and possibly even killed. The Underground Railroad was made by Harriet Tubman, who was once a slave herself.

A triangle has angle measures of 27°, 39°, and xº. Use the Triangle Sum Theorem to find the value of xº.

Sav [38]

Answer:

114 degrees

Explanation:

Because when you add 27 and 39 together you get 66. And the interior of a triangle equals 180 so now you must subtract the 66 from 180. And once you do that you get 114 degrees.
