Do 28

Solution

Let us solve problem 28. The triangle provided has two angles and a missing angle xx^\circ. To find xx, we use the Triangle Sum Theorem, which states:

Sum of all angles in a triangle=180.\text{Sum of all angles in a triangle} = 180^\circ.

Given:

  • One angle is 102102^\circ,
  • Another angle is 88^\circ,
  • Missing angle xx.

Steps:

  1. Add the two known angles: 102+8=110.102^\circ + 8^\circ = 110^\circ.

  2. Subtract their sum from 180180^\circ: x=180110=70.x = 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ.

Final Answer:

The missing angle x=70x = 70^\circ.
