Question

a triangle has the following measures: 2x degrees, 3x degrees, and 22 degrees. find the actual measures of 2x degrees and 3x degrees

Answer 1

Explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. Therefore,

2x + 3x + 22 = 180

Simplifying the equation,

5x = 158

Dividing by 5 on both sides,

x = 31.6

To find the actual measures of 2x and 3x, we substitute the value of x:

2x = 2(31.6) = 63.2 degrees

3x = 3(31.6) = 94.8 degrees

Therefore, the actual measures of 2x and 3x are 63.2 degrees and 94.8 degrees, respectively.
