Math Problem Statement

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure. Solve for x.

Solution

The problem involves solving for the unknown angle xx in a triangle, where two of the angles are given as 4343^\circ and 108108^\circ.

Steps:

  1. Sum of interior angles of a triangle: The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180180^\circ.

    So, for this triangle: 43+108+x=18043^\circ + 108^\circ + x = 180^\circ

  2. Solve for xx: x=180(43+108)x = 180^\circ - (43^\circ + 108^\circ) x=180151x = 180^\circ - 151^\circ x=29x = 29^\circ

Thus, the value of xx is 2929^\circ.
