The angle that the minute and hour hands make when they are at 8:00 is obtuse
The measure of angle A in the triangle is 18°
<h3>How to determine the measure of angle A?</h3>
The angles in the triangle are given as:
m∠A = (2x − 24)°, m∠B = (x + 8)°, m∠C = (4x + 49)°
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180
So, we have
m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180
Substitute the known values in the above equation
So, we have:
2x − 24 + x + 8 + 4x + 49 = 180
Evaluate the like terms
7x = 147
Divide both sides by 7
x = 21
Substitute x = 21 in m∠A = (2x − 24)°
m∠A = (2 * 21 − 24)°
Evaluate
m∠A = 18°
Hence, the measure of angle A in the triangle is 18°
