: I am trying to help my daughter and these are the practice questions provided. Thanks
The angle bisector of one angle of a triangle forms two angles that
measure 27*.The angle bisector of another angle forms two angles that
measure 34*.What is the measure of the third angle of the triangle? This question is from textbook Prentice Hall Mathmatics 2

BISECTING AN ANGLE CUTS IT IN HALF.
SO:
27 IS 1/2 OF 54.
34 IS 1/2 OF 68.
SEEING AS 180 IS THE SUM OF ALL THREE ANGLES WE HAVE:
54+68+X=180 X BEING THE UNKNOWN ANGLE.
X=180-54-68
X=58 IS THE THIRD ANGLE.
