Question

the diagram shows a triangle. what is the value of p? p = °

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - sum property

The sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Step2: Set up the equation

$p + 59^{\circ}+47^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$

Step3: Solve for p

$p=180^{\circ}-(59^{\circ} + 47^{\circ})$
$p=180^{\circ}-106^{\circ}$
$p = 74^{\circ}$

Answer:

$74$
