In an A-frame house, the two congruent sides extend from the ground to form a 34° angle at the peak. What angle does each side form with the ground?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

Do u know the sum of the 3 internal angles in a triangle equal to what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 × 180° = 540°

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):
