Math Problem Statement
Solution
We are given a triangle with a right angle, one of the angles marked as , and another angle labeled as .
Since the sum of the angles in any triangle is always , we can set up the following equation using this information:
Let's solve for :
-
Add the known angles:
-
Set up the equation:
-
Simplify further:
-
Combine like terms:
-
Subtract 138 from both sides:
-
Finally, divide by 3:
The value of is .
