Question

a triangle has interior angle measures of 96°, 46°, and b. what is the value of b? b = □°

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the sum of interior angles of a triangle

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is \(180^{\circ}\). So, \(96^{\circ}+46^{\circ}+b = 180^{\circ}\).

Step2: Solve for \(b\)

First, calculate \(96 + 46=142\). Then, \(b=180 - 142\).

Answer:

\(38\)
