Question

Andy constructed a triangle. Angle 1 and 2 are the same size and angle 3 has a measurement of 100 degrees. What is the measurement of angle 1 and angle 2?

a , 30
b 40
c 60
d 90

Answer 1

Answer:

Angle 1: 40

Angle 2: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle's angles will ALWAYS add up to 180 degrees total, therefore you can subtract 100 from 180 to find what the measure of A and B are combined.

180 - 100 = 80

So now we know Angles A and B add to 80 degrees, but individually, each is half of that, so both are 40 degrees.
