Math Problem Statement
Find the unknown angle measures in a triangle where two angles are known (54° and 60°) and the third angle is shared with an adjacent triangle that has one known angle of 65°.
Solution
The image contains a triangle with some known and unknown angles. Here's the breakdown of the problem:
- One triangle is marked with angles , , and an unknown angle .
- The other triangle adjacent to it shares the angle , and it has another known angle of , with the last unknown angle marked as .
Steps to solve:
-
For the first triangle (with angles , , and ): The sum of the angles in any triangle is . So, Solving for ,
-
For the second triangle (with angles , , and ): Again, the sum of the angles in this triangle must also equal . Therefore, Solving for ,
