document.write( "Question 715820: Hello my name is Emelie. I am in fifth grade.For my homework I need help with angles.I need to find the measure of G in a triangle. On the top of a triangle it is the number I have to find out,on the left side bottom the number is 55 degrees and on the right side bootom the number is 125 degrees. I have tryed to subtract 55 from 125 which equals to 70. But I am not sure that 70 is the right answer. The choices that my homework has are... A:55 degrees,acute. B:55 degrees,right. C:70 degrees,acute and D:125 degrees,obtuse. \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #439654 by KMST(5328)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Angles of 55 degrees and 125 degrees cannot possibly be the interior angles of a triangle, \n" ); document.write( "because the measures of all 3 interior angles must add to 180 degrees, \n" ); document.write( "and 55 degrees plus 125 degrees add to 180 degrees (55+125=180), \n" ); document.write( "not leaving any room for a third angle. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "However, if the 125 degree angle is an exterior angle, like this \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "just like the left one, making it an isosceles triangle. \n" ); document.write( "That is nice to know, but not related to the answer. \n" ); document.write( "If the drawing is like mine, \n" ); document.write( "the two interior angles at the base add up to \n" ); document.write( "and the third angle should measure \n" ); document.write( "An angle measuring \n" ); document.write( "and because of that is called an |
