Find the measure of the missing angle
a= 28 degree, b=97degree I 'm not sure how to go about in finding the missing angle. Could you please help?
To find the measure of the missing angle, we need to use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Let's label the missing angle as "x".
In this case, we have two given angles: angle a = 28 degrees and angle b = 97 degrees.
To find the missing angle x, we can use the equation:
x + a + b = 180
Substituting the given values:
x + 28 + 97 = 180
Combine like terms:
x + 125 = 180
Next, we solve for x by subtracting 125 from both sides of the equation:
x = 180 - 125
x = 55
Therefore, the measure of the missing angle is 55 degrees.
I should have asked if this is a triangle. Apparently it is.
180 - (28 + 97) = ?
