To use the triangle angle sum theorem, we know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
4x + 14 + 5x + 4 + 6x - 3 = 180
Combine like terms:
15x + 15 = 180
Subtract 15 from both sides:
15x = 165
Divide both sides by 15:
x = 11
Now, we can substitute x = 11 back into the expressions for each angle:
Angle A = 4(11) + 14 = 48 + 14 = 62 degrees
Angle B = 5(11) + 4 = 55 + 4 = 59 degrees
Angle C = 6(11) - 3 = 66 - 3 = 63 degrees
Therefore, the measure of the angles for the triangle is 62 degrees, 59 degrees, and 63 degrees.
The answer is D. 59, 63, and 48.
Use the triangle angle su theorem to find the measure of the angles for the triangle in the diagram.
