Solution

To solve for the measure of angle BB in a triangle, we can use the fact that the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180 degrees.

Given the following angles:

  • A=3248A = 32^\circ 48'
  • C=2732C = 27^\circ 32'

We can calculate BB as follows:

B=180ACB = 180^\circ - A - C B=180(3248)(2732)B = 180^\circ - (32^\circ 48') - (27^\circ 32')

To make the calculation easier, let's break it down:

  1. First, subtract the degrees: 1803227=121180^\circ - 32^\circ - 27^\circ = 121^\circ

  2. Then, subtract the minutes: 04832=800' - 48' - 32' = -80'

Since we have a negative result for the minutes, we need to adjust the degrees by borrowing 1 degree (which is 60 minutes):

1211=120121^\circ - 1^\circ = 120^\circ 6080=2060' - 80' = -20'

Therefore, the measure of angle BB is: B=12020=11940B = 120^\circ - 20' = 119^\circ 40'

So, the measure of angle BB is approximately: B=11940B = 119^\circ 40'

  2. What is the sum of the interior angles of a polygon with more than three sides?
  3. How do you handle cases when the angles include seconds (e.g., 48"48")?
  4. How do you find the third angle of a triangle given the other two angles and one side?

Tip: Always remember that 1=601^\circ = 60' and 1=60"1' = 60" when working with degrees, minutes, and seconds.
