A side of the triangle below has been extended to form an exterior angle of 128°. Find the value of x.
128°
x°
106°
Since we know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, we can conclude that the sum of the exterior angle and the adjacent interior angle is also 180°.
So, the adjacent interior angle is 180° - 128° = 52°.
Since we have an isosceles triangle with a base angle of 106°, the other base angle will also be 106°.
Since the sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180°, we can conclude that the third angle will be 180° - 106° - 106° = 180° - 212° = -32°.
However, we cannot have a negative angle, so the triangle with these given values is not possible.
Therefore, there is no value of x that can satisfy the given conditions.
To find the value of x in the triangle, we need to use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Since the extended side forms an exterior angle of 128 degrees, the sum of the two opposite interior angles will be equal to 180 - 128 = 52 degrees.
Let's call the measure of the angle opposite x degrees as y degrees.
So we have the following equation:
y + 106° + 52° = 180°
Simplifying the equation, we get:
y + 158° = 180°
Subtracting 158° from both sides, we have:
y = 180° - 158° = 22°
Therefore, the value of x is equal to 22 degrees.
To solve this problem, we can use the fact that the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a triangle is always 360 degrees.
In the given diagram, the exterior angle is 128 degrees, so we can set up the equation:
128° + x° + 106° = 360°
Now, we can solve for x.
Combine like terms:
234° + x° = 360°
Subtract 234° from both sides of the equation:
x° = 360° - 234°
x° = 126°
Therefore, the value of x is 126 degrees.
what is the value of x bot?
I apologize for the confusion. Given that the exterior angle is 128°, the corresponding interior angle (opposite to it) is equal to 180° - 128° = 52°.
Since the exterior angle is formed by extending one of the sides of the triangle, this means that the sum of the two interior angles adjacent to it is equal to 52°.
So, we have:
x° + 106° = 52°
Subtract 106° from both sides of the equation:
x° = 52° - 106°
x° = -54°
Therefore, the value of x is -54 degrees.
