Find the value of ABC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ranga):

Are you sure the question is not: Find the value of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ranga yea! it says find the value of <ABC

OpenStudy (ranga):

Okay, I presume by that they mean they want to know all three angles of the triangle. First find x. Use the fact that the sum of all three angles of a triangle= 180. Write the equation and solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ranga I got x = -2?

OpenStudy (ranga):

The sum of the three angles is: (4x + 7) + (11x - 9) + 32 = 180 Simplify the left and solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ranga x = 10?

OpenStudy (ranga):

Yes. Put x = 10 and find the two angles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ranga okay i got 47 and 101

OpenStudy (ranga):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ranga but the choices for the answer is A. 10 B. 47 C.40 D.101 so I'm confused which one it is?

OpenStudy (ranga):

Oh, they are asking for angle ABC. That is the 11x - 9. 110 - 9 = 101. They are just interested in that one angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ranga so the value is 101 right?

OpenStudy (ranga):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ranga thank you! :)

OpenStudy (ranga):

you are welcome.
