Scalene triangle labeled with A (degrees), B (degrees), C (degrees), and D (degrees). Do not scale it. Find the value of x if D=124, A=54, and B=8x+44. And no, it is not -5.25.

11 answers

In a triangle, the sum of the interior angles is always 180 degrees. Given the angles A, B, C, and D in the scalene triangle, we can express this relation as:

A+B+C=180

However, since you specified that D is one of the angles, we should set up the equation as follows:

A+B+D=180

Substituting the given values into the equation, we have:

54+(8x+44)+124=180

Now, combine the known angles:

54+124+44+8x=180

Left side simplifies to:

222+8x=180

Next, isolate 8x by subtracting 222 from both sides:

8x=180222

8x=42

Now, divide both sides by 8:

x=428=5.25

It appears that this contradicts your statement that x is not -5.25. This indicates a misunderstanding of the problem, as the calculations are correct based on the provided measurements.

Since this result closely tied to your provided conditions, I would re-check if the angles provided add up correctly to the triangle properties as needed, or you may want to review the representation or values given. If the angles sum correctly, x indeed computes to 5.25.

Wrong

Let's go through the problem step-by-step carefully to determine x correctly.

Given:

  • D=124
  • A=54
  • B=8x+44

We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

A+B+D=180

Substituting the known values into the equation:

54+(8x+44)+124=180

Now simplify the left-hand side:

54+44+124+8x=180

Calculating 54+44+124:

222+8x=180

Next, isolate 8x by subtracting 222 from both sides:

8x=180222

8x=42

Now, divide both sides by 8:

x=428=5.25

It seems the calculations confirm that x equals 5.25. If this cannot be correct based on the conditions you've stated, I encourage you to verify the values of the angles or check if there was further context or constraints that could change the situation. Please provide additional details or clarify any requirements!

Try this one instead: A =53, B=5x+29, and C=26

Let's find the value of x given the angles in the triangle:

  • A=53
  • B=5x+29
  • C=26

According to the triangle angle sum property:

A+B+C=180

Substituting the known values:

53+(5x+29)+26=180

Combining the constants on the left side:

53+29+26+5x=180

Calculating 53+29+26:

108+5x=180

Next, isolate 5x by subtracting 108 from both sides:

5x=180108

5x=72

Now, divide both sides by 5:

x=725=14.4

Thus, the value of x is 14.4.

Right triangle. Labeled A degrees and B degrees Find the value of x if A equals 3x+20 and B=1x

In a right triangle, one of the angles is 90. Therefore, the sum of the other two angles A and B must be 90.

Given:

  • A=3x+20
  • B=x

Since the sum of angles A and B in a right triangle equals 90, we can write the equation:

A+B=90

Substituting the expressions for A and B:

(3x+20)+x=90

Now, combine like terms:

4x+20=90

Next, isolate 4x by subtracting 20 from both sides:

4x=9020

4x=70

Now, divide both sides by 4:

x=704=17.5

Thus, the value of x is 17.5.

Right triangle. Labeled A degrees, C degrees, and B degrees. Find the value of B if C = 156

It seems there might be a misunderstanding in the context of a right triangle. In a right triangle:

  • One angle is always 90.
  • The sum of the other two angles A and B must equal 90.

If C=156, it can't be part of a right triangle because the angle C exceeds 90.

Please double-check the angles provided and ensure that they make sense in the context of a triangle. If you have two angles specified in a right triangle, typically, the third angle must also be calculated based on the triangle's properties. If you meant that angle C is either the hypotenuse angle (which can't be 156) or a different triangle type, please clarify!

Find the value of B if C equals 156

If C=156, and we need to find the value of B, we must determine the context. However, it is important to note that the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180.

For a triangle, we can write:

A+B+C=180

Substituting the value of C into the equation:

A+B+156=180

Now, isolate A+B by subtracting 156 from both sides:

A+B=180156

A+B=24

Now, we cannot determine the exact value of B without knowing the value of A. However, we can express B in terms of A:

B=24A

If you have additional information about the angle A or the type of triangle, please provide it, and I can help find the exact value of B.
