What is the value of the missing angle in the triangle A 156 Degrees B 66 Degrees C 142 Degrees D 150 Degrees

Answer :

Answer:

A) 156 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a triangle ALWAYS adds up to 180°.

Step 1: Set up equation

12° + 12° + x° = 180°

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Combine like terms: x° + 24° = 180°
  2. Subtract 24° on both sides: x° = 156°

Step 3: Check

All angles should add up to 180°. Plug it in and check.

156° + 12° + 12° = 180°

156° + 24° = 180°

180° = 180°

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle must equal 180°. So:

[tex](12)+(12)+x=180[/tex]

Solve for x. Add on the left:

[tex]24+x=180[/tex]

Subtract 24 from both sides:

[tex]x=156\textdegree[/tex]

Our answer is A.

And we're done!
