the angles of a triangle are (3x), (2x-7) and (4x-2) find the x
Answers
Answer:
3x+ 2x-7 + 4x-2 = 180°
9x-9 = 180°
9x= 189°
x= 31°
hope it helps you
Given :
The angles of a triangle
A ( 3x )
B ( 2x-7 )
C ( 4x - 2 )
To find :
The value of x
Solution :
We know that ,
The sum of the sides of the triangle is always equal to 180°
Here We will sum up all the sides of the triangle and equate it with 180° , So that we could find the value of x.
» 3x + 2x - 7 + 4x - 2 = 180°
Now , group the variables and consonants separately ,
( 3x + 2x + 4x ) + ( -7 -2 ) = 180°
9x - 9 = 180°
Divide the whole equation by 9 ,
x - 9 = 20
» x = 20 + 9 = 29 °
Therefore x takes the value 29° .
For further information we can even substitute the value of x over the unknown values of triangle.
1) 3x = 3(29) = 87°
2) 2x - 7 = 2(29) -7 = 58 - 7 = 51°
3) 4x - 2 = 4(29)-2 = 116 - 2 = 114°
Thus we have arrived the values of unknown angles in a triangle .
