Question

the measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. solve for x. answer attempt 1 out of 3 x =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - sum property

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. So, we have the equation $x + 60+79 = 180$.

Step2: Simplify the left - hand side

$x+139 = 180$.

Step3: Solve for x

Subtract 139 from both sides: $x=180 - 139$.

Answer:

$x = 41$
