Question

what is the value of s?

Answer 1

Given:

Given that a triangle with angles (s - 14)°, 2s° and (s - 18)°

We need to determine the value of s.

Value of s:

Let us use the triangle sum property to determine the value of s.

Thus, we have;

$(s-14)^{\circ}+2s^{\circ}+(s-18)^{\circ}=180$

Simplifying, we have;

$s-14+2s+s-18=180$

Adding the like terms, we get;

$4s-32=180$

       $4s=212$

         $s=53$

Thus, the value of s is 53.
