Question

two of the angles in a triangle measure 50 degrees and a 27 degrees find the measure of the third angle

Answer 1

The measure of the third angle = 103°

Explanation:

The sum of all the angles in any triangle is 180°. Given the two angles of 50° and 27°, we can set up an equation to find the measure of the third angle:

Equation: 50 + 27 + x = 180

Combine like terms: 77 + x = 180

Inverse operations: 77 + x - 77 = 180 - 77

Solve: x = 103°
