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: , , and . The sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180°. Therefore, the relationship between the angles in triangle ABC can be written as:
Given ranges:
- Angle ranges from to , i.e.,
- Angle ranges from to , i.e.,
Finding the range for angle :
To determine the range for angle , we can subtract the sum of angles and from 180°:
-
When is at its minimum (55°) and is at its maximum (110°):
-
When is at its maximum (65°) and is at its minimum (100°):
-
When is at its maximum (65°) and is at its maximum (110°):
-
When is at its minimum (55°) and is at its minimum (100°):
From these calculations, we can see that the range for angle is:
Final Answer:
The range of angle is from to .
