Question

Find X. Answer in degrees and minutes Round to the nearest MINUTE. y= 49 degrees 6' z = 23 degree 19'

Answer 1

The sum of angles in a triangle is givento be 180 degrees.

This means that:

$x+y+z=180\degree$

We're given the values of y and z in the question. We can substitute these into the equation above:

$x+49\degree6^{\prime}+23\degree19^{\prime}=180\degree$

We can solve it as shown below:

$\begin{gathered} x+72\degree25^{\prime}=180\degree \\ \therefore \\ x=180\degree-72\degree25^{\prime} \\ x=107\degree35^{\prime} \end{gathered}$

ANSWER

$x=107\operatorname{\degree}35^{\prime}$
