Math Problem Statement

Find the measure of each angle indicated and solve for x in the given triangle problems.

Solution

Let's solve the problems one by one from the image you've uploaded.

Problem 1:

You need to find the third angle in the triangle, knowing that the sum of angles in any triangle is 180 degrees.

Given angles:

  • 8080^\circ
  • 3939^\circ

To find the third angle, ??, we use the formula: Angle ?=1808039\text{Angle } ? = 180^\circ - 80^\circ - 39^\circ

Problem 2:

The diagram shows an exterior angle, ??, and two opposite interior angles (82° and 42°).

The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles, so: Angle ?=82+42\text{Angle } ? = 82^\circ + 42^\circ

Let me calculate these for you.### Solutions:

Problem 1: The third angle in the triangle is 6161^\circ.

Problem 2: The exterior angle, indicated by ??, measures 124124^\circ.

Would you like to go through any of these in more detail or need help with other problems from the image?

Further Questions:

  1. How would you find an exterior angle if only two interior angles are given?
  2. What happens to the angles in a triangle if it is right, acute, or obtuse?
  3. Can a triangle have more than one right angle? Why or why not?
  4. How do the properties of angles apply to real-world constructions?
  5. What is the significance of knowing how to calculate exterior angles in geometric design?

Tip: When solving for unknown angles in triangles, always ensure that the sum of all interior angles equals 180 degrees as a quick check on your calculations.
