Math Problem Statement

A triangular lot ABC is to be made such that the range of angle A is from 55° to 65° and the range of angle C is from 100° to 110°. What is the range of angle B?

Solution

We are given a triangular lot with three angles: AA, BB, and CC. The sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180°. Therefore, the relationship between the angles in triangle ABC can be written as:

A+B+C=180A + B + C = 180^\circ

Given ranges:

  • Angle AA ranges from 5555^\circ to 6565^\circ, i.e., 55A6555^\circ \leq A \leq 65^\circ
  • Angle CC ranges from 100100^\circ to 110110^\circ, i.e., 100C110100^\circ \leq C \leq 110^\circ

Finding the range for angle BB:

To determine the range for angle BB, we can subtract the sum of angles AA and CC from 180°:

B=180ACB = 180^\circ - A - C

  1. When AA is at its minimum (55°) and CC is at its maximum (110°): B=18055110=15B = 180^\circ - 55^\circ - 110^\circ = 15^\circ

  2. When AA is at its maximum (65°) and CC is at its minimum (100°): B=18065100=15B = 180^\circ - 65^\circ - 100^\circ = 15^\circ

  3. When AA is at its maximum (65°) and CC is at its maximum (110°): B=18065110=5B = 180^\circ - 65^\circ - 110^\circ = 5^\circ

  4. When AA is at its minimum (55°) and CC is at its minimum (100°): B=18055100=25B = 180^\circ - 55^\circ - 100^\circ = 25^\circ

From these calculations, we can see that the range for angle BB is:

5B255^\circ \leq B \leq 25^\circ

Final Answer:

The range of angle BB is from 55^\circ to 2525^\circ.


Would you like more details on any of the steps? Here are some related questions for further exploration:

  1. How do you calculate the angles in a triangle if one angle is given?
  2. Can the angles of a triangle ever exceed 180°?
  3. What happens if the angles do not sum to 180°?
  4. How do we find the missing angles in non-right triangles?
  5. What is the significance of angle ranges in geometry?

Tip: Always check the sum of angles in any triangle. If they don't add to 180°, there's likely a mistake in the problem or assumptions.
