In a triangle ABC, if ∠A = 55° and ∠B = 40°, find ∠C.

Is the largest angle in an isosceles triangle is 80 What is the measure of each of the remaining angles?

Given: ∠A = 55° and ∠B = 40°

To Find: ∠C

Solution:

In ΔABC, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of the angles of a triangle)

Given: ∠A = x + 15°, ∠B = x − 15°, ∠C = x + 30°

To Find: ∠A, ∠B and ∠C

Solution:

In ΔABC, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of the angles of a triangle)

x +15° + x − 15° + x + 30° = 180°

3x + 30° = 180°

3x = 180° − 30°

3x = 150°

∴ x = 50°

∠A = x + 15° = 50° + 15° = 65°

∠B = x − 15° = 50° − 15° = 35°

∠C = x + 30° = 50° + 30° = 80°

The exterior angles obtained on producing the base of a triangle both ways are 104° and 136°. Find the angles of the triangle.

Is the largest angle in an isosceles triangle is 80 What is the measure of each of the remaining angles?

Given: ∠ABD = 104° and ∠ACE = 136°

To find: ∠A, ∠B and ∠C

Solution:

We know that an exterior angle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles.

∠2 + ∠3 = ∠ABD

∠2 + ∠3 = 104° ... (1)

∠2 + ∠1 = ∠ACE

∠2 + ∠1 = 136° … (2)

Also, ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180° (Sum of angles of triangle)

136° + ∠3 = 180° (Using (2))

∠3 = 180° − 136°

∴∠3 = 44°

We have ∠2 + ∠3 = 104°

∠2 + 44° = 104°

∠2 = 104° − 44°

∴∠2 = 60°

We have ∠2 + ∠1 = 136°

60° + ∠1 = 136°

∠1 = 136° − 60°

∴∠1 = 76°

Is the largest angle in an isosceles triangle is 80 What is the measure of each of the remaining angles?

Given: ∠ACD, ∠BAE and ∠CBF are exterior angles.

To Show: ∠ACD + ∠BAE + ∠CBF = 360°

Proof:

We know that an exterior angle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles.

∠1 + ∠2 = ∠ACD … (1)

∠2 + ∠3 = ∠BAE … (2)

∠3 + ∠1 = ∠CBF … (3)

2(∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3) = ∠ACD + ∠BAE + ∠CBF

2 × 180° = ∠ACD + ∠BAE + ∠CBF (Sum of the angles of a triangle)

∴ ∠ACD + ∠BAE + ∠CBF = 360°
