Use the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem to find the measure of the third angle of the triangle if the measure of two angles are 34.6° and 52.8°
To find the measure of the third angle, we need to use the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, which states that the sum of the three angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Let x be the measure of the third angle.
We know that two angles have measures of 34.6° and 52.8°. So, the sum of these two angles is:
34.6 + 52.8 = 87.4
Now, we can set up an equation to find the measure of the third angle:
34.6 + 52.8 + x = 180
Simplify the equation:
87.4 + x = 180
Subtract 87.4 from both sides:
x = 180 - 87.4
x = 92.6
Therefore, the measure of the third angle of the triangle is 92.6°.
