Answer:
20°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of angles in a ∆ = 180°
Therefore, [tex] (17x - 1) + (3x - 4) + 25 = 180 [/tex]
Use this expression to find the value of x, then find the measure of angle A.
[tex] 17x - 1 + 3x - 4 + 25 = 180 [/tex]
[tex] 17x + 3x - 1 - 4 + 25 = 180 [/tex]
[tex] 20x + 20 = 180 [/tex]
Subtract 20 from both sides
[tex] 20x + 20 - 20 = 180 - 20 [/tex]
[tex] 20x = 160 [/tex]
Divide both sides by 20
[tex] \frac{20x} = \frac{160}{20} [/tex]
[tex] x = 8 [/tex]
Find measure of angle A.
Angle A is given as [tex] 3x - 4 [/tex]
Plug in the value of x and solve
[tex] A = 3(8) - 4 = 24 - 4 = 20 [/tex]
