One of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 30 degrees, and one of the exterior angles is equal to 40 degrees. Find the remaining interior angles of this triangle.
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees. Therefore, if one of the interior angles is 30 degrees, the sum of the other two interior angles must be 180 - 30 = 150 degrees.
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal in measure to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. Therefore, if one of the exterior angles is 40 degrees, the sum of the two opposite interior angles must be 40 degrees.
Let the other two interior angles be x and y. We can set up the following equation based on our information:
x + y = 40
We also know that the sum of the other two interior angles is 150. Therefore, we can set up the additional equation:
x + y = 150
Since both equations are equal to x + y, we can set them equal to each other:
40 = 150
This equation is not true, so there is no solution. Therefore, the remaining interior angles cannot be determined with the given information.
To find the remaining interior angles of the triangle, we need to use the fact that the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Let's assume that the other two interior angles are x and y degrees.
Since we know that one of the interior angles is 30 degrees, we can set up an equation:
30 + x + y = 180
Now, let's focus on the exterior angle. The sum of an exterior angle and its adjacent interior angle is always equal to 180 degrees. In this case, the exterior angle is 40 degrees and its adjacent interior angle is x degrees. So we have another equation:
40 + x = 180
Next, we can solve this equation to find the value of x:
x = 180 - 40
x = 140
Now that we have the value of x, we can substitute it back into the first equation to solve for y:
30 + 140 + y = 180
170 + y = 180
y = 180 - 170
y = 10
Therefore, the remaining interior angles of the triangle are x = 140 degrees and y = 10 degrees.
To find the remaining interior angles of the triangle, we need to make use of the fact that the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Let's call the remaining two interior angles x and y.
Given:
Interior angle = 30 degrees
Exterior angle = 40 degrees
We know that an exterior angle and its corresponding interior angle are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.
So, we have the equation:
x + 40 = 180
By subtracting 40 from both sides, we get:
x = 180 - 40 = 140 degrees
Now, we can substitute the value of x into the equation for the remaining interior angle:
140 + y = 180
By subtracting 140 from both sides, we get:
y = 180 - 140 = 40 degrees
Therefore, the remaining two interior angles of the triangle are:
x = 140 degrees
y = 40 degrees
