Math Problem Statement
m∠RST = (3x/4)° m∠TSV = (x/3)° m∠RSV = 78°
Solution
We are given the following angles in a triangle:
Since these three angles are part of the same triangle, the sum of their measures must equal . We can express this as:
Substituting the values:
To solve for , first eliminate the fractions by finding the least common denominator (LCD) between 4 and 3, which is 12. We rewrite each term accordingly:
Now, rewrite the equation:
Combine the -terms:
Now, subtract 78 from both sides:
Multiply both sides by 12 to eliminate the denominator:
Now, divide by 13:
Now that we know , we can find the angles:
- (as given)
So, the three angles are approximately , , and .
