Given
The angles of a triangle are ( x + 20 )°,
( x + 30 )° and ( 2x + 30 )°.
To Find
The value of 'x'.
Concept
Sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°.
Solving
Using the property that sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°, we can write
(x + 20)° + (x + 30)° + (2x + 30)° = 180°
x + x + 2x + 20° + 30° + 30° = 180°
4x + 80° = 180°
4x = 100°
x = 25°
So, the angles are
x + 20° = 25° + 20° = 45°
x + 30° = 25° + 30° = 55°
2x + 30° = 2(25°) + 30° = 80°
Answer
So, the value of x is 25°.
Verification
45° + 55° + 80° = 180°
Hence, all values of angles are correct.
