Two angles of a scalene triangle measures 42 degrees and 70 degrees. Which of the following is the measure of the third angle?
I showed you how to do this kind of problem.
What is it that you don't understand?
Wow okay nevamind
To find the measure of the third angle of a scalene triangle, we need to use the fact that the sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees.
Let's denote the measure of the third angle as x. The sum of the three angles of the triangle is given by:
x + 42 + 70 = 180
Now, we can solve for x by combining like terms and isolating x:
x + 112 = 180
x = 180 - 112
x = 68
Therefore, the measure of the third angle of the scalene triangle is 68 degrees.
