Capitolo 2, Problema 28

The measures of two angles of a triangle are given. Find the measure of the third angle. See Example 2.
29.6° , 49.7°

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recall that the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180 degrees. This is a fundamental property of triangles.
Identify the given angles: the first angle is 29.6° and the second angle is 49.7°.
Set up an equation to find the third angle, which we can call \( x \):
\[ 29.6 + 49.7 + x = 180 \]
Combine the known angles on the left side:
\[ 79.3 + x = 180 \]
Solve for \( x \) by subtracting 79.3 from both sides:
\[ x = 180 - 79.3 \]

Triangle Angle Sum Property

The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180 degrees. This fundamental property allows us to find the measure of an unknown angle when the other two angles are known by subtracting their sum from 180°.
