Math Problem Statement

Find the value of x in the triangle where one angle is 39° and another angle is 105°.

Solution

To solve for xx in the triangle, we can use the property that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180°.

We are given two angles:

  • One angle is 39°.
  • Another angle is 105°.

Let's find xx:

x=180(39+105)x = 180^\circ - (39^\circ + 105^\circ)

x=180144=36x = 180^\circ - 144^\circ = 36^\circ

So, the value of xx is 3636^\circ.

Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What is the sum of the interior angles of any triangle?
  2. How would the solution change if one of the angles in the triangle was a right angle (90°)?
  3. If one angle in a triangle is obtuse (greater than 90°), how does it affect the other two angles?
  4. Can a triangle have more than one obtuse angle? Why or why not?
  5. How can we check if the angles of a triangle form a valid triangle?

Tip: Always remember that the sum of angles in any triangle is 180°, no matter the type of triangle.
