anonymous · Answer

is this drawing accurate?

anonymous · Answer

yes it is. What is the sum of the total angles in a triangle.

anonymous · Answer

180 degrees .

anonymous · Answer

We can do this two ways, both will result with the same answer. one way is to add everything to give 180, and you find n then substitute to find the angle that is asked

anonymous · Answer

and the other is to subtract (58+62) from 180, which will give you the answer right away

anonymous · Answer

which would be 120 . theres not an answer choice of 60 though ...

anonymous · Answer

im confused .

anonymous · Answer

try the other one, to add everything and make it equal to 180
