what is the sum of the 3 angles in every triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180º I believe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct, now look at it like this |dw:1351019349709:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x should equal 86º?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because if you add 86º+59º+35º it will equal 180º.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now what angle does a straight line has?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180º?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct |dw:1351019601342:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be 94º since 86+94=180.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just start using 180-86, which will give you 94

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1351019905671:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y would be 75º because 35+11+59=105 and 180-105=75º? So the answer to the question would be the second answer? I'm confident it is. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see how easy it was, good job
