Question

Triangle Help!

Answer 1

It's been so long since I've done a problem like this! I set them (+ another variable representing the third angle) to 90 and I don't think I'm coming up with the correct answer :/

Answer 2

Anyone willing to refresh my memory?

Answer 3

@ganeshie8 Your help would be appreciated!

Answer 4

All 3 angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.
Also angle Q = angle angle O = 3x + 20
Therefore,
3x + 20 + 3x + 20 + 4x + 10 = 180
10x = 130
x = 13

So, angle P = 4x+10 = 62 degrees
angle O = angle Q = 3 x + 20 = 59 degrees

62 + 59 + 59 = 180 degrees so all 3 angles sum to 180 degrees.

Answer 5

Oh my goodness I feel like an idiot! I thought a triangle was 90, it's been so long
