Exercise 35 Page 404

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180^(∘).

27^(∘)

Practice makes perfect

We want to find the measure of the missing angle in the given triangle.

To find this angle measure, we will first recall a key piece of information!

Angle Sum of a Triangle

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180^(∘).

With this rule, we can write an equation connecting the measures of the angles of our triangle. x^(∘)+ 63^(∘)+ 90^(∘)=180^(∘) Let's solve the equation and find the value of x. For simplicity, we will not write the degree symbol.

x+63+90=180
â–¼
Solve for x
x+153=180
x=27

The measure of the missing angle is 27^(∘).
