i am a fifth grader and behind in math can you show me how to work this problem. two angles in a triangle are given. find x if x is the third in the triangle. 100 degree, 56 degree, x
A triangle has a total of 180 degrees.
100 + 56 = 156
180 - 156 = ?

Of course, I can help you with that math problem!
In a triangle, the sum of all three angles is always 180 degrees. So to find the value of the third angle (x) in the triangle, we can use this information.
Given that two angles are already known:
Angle 1 = 100 degrees
Angle 2 = 56 degrees
To find the third angle (x), we can subtract the sum of the two known angles from 180 degrees. Here's the step-by-step process:
Step 1: Add the two known angles:
100 degrees + 56 degrees = 156 degrees
Step 2: Subtract the sum from 180 degrees:
180 degrees - 156 degrees = 24 degrees
Therefore, x is equal to 24 degrees.
