More examples – sum of angles of a triangle

In this page we practice using the rule:

Sum of interior angles of a triangle \(= 180^\circ\)

Example 1

Angles of a triangle are:

\(40^\circ, 60^\circ,\) and \(x\).

$$40^\circ + 60^\circ + x = 180^\circ$$

$$100^\circ + x = 180^\circ$$

$$x = 80^\circ$$

Example 2

Angles of a triangle are:

\(90^\circ, 35^\circ,\) and \(x\).

$$90^\circ + 35^\circ + x = 180^\circ$$

$$125^\circ + x = 180^\circ$$

$$x = 55^\circ$$

Example 3

Two angles of a triangle are equal and one angle is \(40^\circ\).

Let the equal angles be \(x\).

$$x + x + 40^\circ = 180^\circ$$

$$2x + 40^\circ = 180^\circ$$

$$2x = 140^\circ$$

$$x = 70^\circ$$

So the triangle has angles:

\(70^\circ, 70^\circ,\) and \(40^\circ.\)

Example 4

Angles of a triangle are:

\(x, x,\) and \(x\).

$$x + x + x = 180^\circ$$

$$3x = 180^\circ$$

$$x = 60^\circ$$

So all angles are \(60^\circ\).

Example 5

Angles of a triangle are:

\(80^\circ, 70^\circ,\) and \(x\).

$$80^\circ + 70^\circ + x = 180^\circ$$

$$150^\circ + x = 180^\circ$$

$$x = 30^\circ$$
