Question

Consider the triangle below.

Answer 1

The measure of angle P is 29 degrees

The sum of an interior angle of a triangle is 180 degrees. Given the following parameters:

• m<M = 15x + 5

• m<N = 3x + 2

• m<P = 5x - 11

Taking the sum and equating to 180 degrees:

m<M + m<N + m<P = 180 degrees

15x + 5 + 3x + 2 + 5x - 11 = 180

23x - 4 = 180

23x = 184

x = 184/23

x = 8

Get the measure of m<P

m<P = 5x - 11

m<P = 5(8) - 11

m<P = 40 - 11

m<P = 29 degrees

Hence the measure of angle P is 29 degrees
