Find the measure of angle ABC.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

hint the sum of 3 angles of triangle = 180degrees so form an equation and solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[32+2x-15+5-x=180\] Solve for x then plug x into the equation to find the angles what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i tried and got a different answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait not done ,im retrying it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

46

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[32+2x-15+x-5=180\] Move all the non-x values to the left side of the equal sign; \[2x+x = 180+5+15-32\] simplify \[3x = 168\] divide by 3 x = 56 To find the angles, plug 56 for the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do next to find the ABC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since we know B = x- 5 and we know x = 56 Just plug 56 into the equation "x-5" 56-5 = 51 So B = 51 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c is 97 so what do i do next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i add them all together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No - the angle measure for ABC is 51

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thanks nvm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since all three angles of a triangle must equal 180. We can subtract the known angle measures to find angle C (ACB) 180-32-51 = 97 c = 97

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i didnt knoe whether to take 97 or 51 haha i was confused
