How do i find the angle measurements of a triangle when im given two angles, that are both equations?? ( ill draw it)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The sum of all angles in a triangle should add up to 180 degrees.

or pythagoream theroem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure if i can do that with this ....

OpenStudy (phi):

is there any more info?

OpenStudy (phi):

example: is it isosceles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think there should be more info cause there can be infinite solutions for this problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the full question says, suppose that (triangle) CAB is isosceles with (line over) CB suppose that m<A= (2x+24) etc what i put in the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They should give you the measure of angle C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i have to find the measurements for all i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

their isnt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there*

OpenStudy (phi):

which sides are equal? the angles opposite those sides are also equal.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

got picture?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

shamelessly take from "got milk" ads =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one sec ill attach it

OpenStudy (phi):

label the 3rd angle y from the diagram you see sides PQ= OQ so angle 2x+24= y also all 3 angles add up to 180 2x+24+y + 3x+55= 180

OpenStudy (phi):

replace y with 2x+24 in the 2nd equation and simplify solve for x then find the 3 angles can you do that ?
