Question 662803: I need help in geometry .I have a few problem I need to do for a work sheet .I.have a polygon
Of 3 sides .the top one since it a slanted triangle the top is 50 degrees then the bottom right is 56 degrees and the bottom left is 75+ x .and you have to solve for x .how do I do it to find the answer ?

At least in the USA, a good dose of algebra gets injected into geometry.
That's why you'll keep seeing x here and there.

I assume your problem looks like this:
The geometry bit: The measures of the 3 angles of a triangle add up to .
The algebra:
--> -->
Now we subtract 181 from both sides of the equal sign.
--> -->
That was worth , which added to , made the third angle measure .
(Strange problem. I did not expect a negative , but negative numbers are OK with me).
