Question

Determine the measure of angle A, B, and C in triangle ABC. If m∠A=(x-10)°,m∠B=(2x-50)°,and m∠C=x°

Answer 1

Answer:

m∠A = 50°

m∠B = 70°

m∠C = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the measure of angle A, B, and C in triangle ABC. If m∠A=(x-10)°,m∠B=(2x-50)°,and m∠C=x°

In a Triangle, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°

Step 1

We solve for x

Hence:

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C= 180°

(x-10)°+ (2x-50)°+ x° = 180°

x - 10 + 2x - 50 + x = 180°

4x - 60 = 180°

4x = 180° + 60°

4x = 240°

x = 240°/4

x = 60°

Step 2

Solving for each measure

x = 60°

m∠A=(x-10)°

= 60° - 10°

= 50°

m∠B=(2x-50)°

= 2(60)° - 50°

= 120° - 50°

= 70°

m∠C=x°

= 60°
