Math Problem Statement

Find the range of possible values for x given a triangle with sides 32, 32, and 20, and angles 34° and (2x + 6)°.

Solution

This is a triangle with an inequality involving an angle (2x+6)(2x + 6)^\circ. Let's solve it step by step.

Step 1: Recognize the triangle inequality

In a triangle:

  1. The sum of the angles must equal 180180^\circ.
  2. Each angle must be greater than 00^\circ.
  3. Additionally, the given diagram implies this inequality: 2x+6>02x + 6 > 0 because all angles must be positive.

Step 2: Set up the angle sum equation

The given angles are: (2x+6),34, and the third angle.(2x + 6)^\circ, 34^\circ, \text{ and the third angle}. From the triangle sum rule: [ (2x + 6) + 34 + \text{third angle} > to calc
