Find the missing angle. Show your work. the bottem left is missing and the numbers are at the top 15 degrees and bottem right 85 degrees

1 answer

To find the missing angle in a triangle, you can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees.

Let’s denote the missing angle as \( x \).

You have the following angles in the triangle:

  • Bottom left angle: \( x \)
  • Top angle: \( 15^\circ \)
  • Bottom right angle: \( 85^\circ \)

According to the triangle angle sum property:

\[ x + 15^\circ + 85^\circ = 180^\circ \]

Now, combine the known angles:

\[ x + 100^\circ = 180^\circ \]

Next, solve for \( x \):

\[ x = 180^\circ - 100^\circ \] \[ x = 80^\circ \]

So, the missing angle at the bottom left is \( 80^\circ \).
