Algebra.Com's Answer #406594 by shweta(56)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given: In triangle ABC, \n" ); document.write( "Bis measure of Angle B,A is the measure of Angle A and C of Angle C \n" ); document.write( "Angle A= 17+4B ......(1) \n" ); document.write( "Angle C= B-5 ......(2) \n" ); document.write( "Sum of all the angles of the triangle ABCis 180 degree \n" ); document.write( "Angle A+Angle B+ Angle C= 180 ....(3) \n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of A and C in equation 3 \n" ); document.write( "17+4B+B+B-5=180 \n" ); document.write( "6B+12=180 \n" ); document.write( "6B=180-12 \n" ); document.write( "6B=168 \n" ); document.write( "B=168/6 \n" ); document.write( "Angle B=28 degree \n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of B in equation 1 \n" ); document.write( "A=17+4B \n" ); document.write( "A=17+4*28 \n" ); document.write( "A=17+112 \n" ); document.write( "Angle A=129 degree \n" ); document.write( "Now substitute the value of B in equation 2 to find the value of Angle C \n" ); document.write( "Angle C= B-5 \n" ); document.write( "Angle C= 28-5 \n" ); document.write( "Angle C= 23 degree \n" ); document.write( " CHECK: \n" ); document.write( "You can check your answer by putting in the value of all the angles in equation 3 and see if the sum is 180 degree \n" ); document.write( "Angle A+Angle B+Angle C=180 \n" ); document.write( "129+28+23=180 \n" ); document.write( "Hence our answer is correct\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
