Math Problem Statement

Find the measures of angle 3 and angle 4. The triangle has two angles given: 46° and 49°.

Solution

The image shows a triangle with angles labeled 46° and 49°. We need to find the measure of angles 3 and 4.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Understanding the problem:

    • The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180°.
    • Two angles of the triangle are given as 46° and 49°.
  2. Finding the third angle (angle 3):

    • The measure of the third angle can be found by subtracting the sum of the other two angles from 180°: Angle 3=1804649\text{Angle 3} = 180^\circ - 46^\circ - 49^\circ Angle 3=18095=85\text{Angle 3} = 180^\circ - 95^\circ = 85^\circ

Thus, the measure of angle 3 is 85°.

Follow-up Questions:

  1. What are the basic properties of a triangle's angles?
  2. How can we check if a triangle is valid based on its angles?
  3. What happens if the sum of the angles is not 180° in a polygon?
  4. Can you calculate the angles of an obtuse triangle?
  5. How do the angles affect the type of triangle (scalene, isosceles, etc.)?

Tip:

Always remember that the sum of interior angles in any triangle is 180°, and this rule can help solve for unknown angles!
