Question

help please!!!1.....Find the measure of angle C.... i have no clue how to do it???

Answer 1

The angles in all triangles add up to 180

Answer 2

the angles of any triangle on a euclidean plane add up to 180

Answer 3

lol ... you said all triangles ;)

Answer 4

Solve for x and then work out the size of angle C

Answer 5

combine like terms and it becomes a no brainer to solve for x

Answer 6

(8+5+7)x + (3+15+2) = 180

Answer 7

thats what i get confused on

Answer 8

Sorry, not all triangles but definitely the one your looking at :)

Answer 9

ohh wait let me try it

Answer 10

to combine like terms is simply adding apples and oranges; or in this case, xs and constants

Answer 11

i got 8 does that seem right?

Answer 12

x=8 sounds good to me, now that you know what x equals, stick it in the angles equation

Answer 13

5x+15 = C
8
-------
40+15 = C

Answer 14

yep then i pluged 8 in and the answer is 55 degrees

Answer 15

that right. they try to trick you into stopping at x=8 :)
