How do you find the third angle given 65°, 88°?

Answer 1

Grace Ashcraft

The third angle is #27^o#

Questioner asking third angle perhaps means is talking about a triangle, whose other two angles are #65^o# and #88^o#.

As sum of the interior angles of a triangle is #180^o#

third angle is #180^o-65^o-88^o#

= #180^o-153^o#

= #27^o#

To find the third angle of a triangle when two angles are given, you subtract the sum of the given angles from 180°.

Third angle = 180° - (65° + 88°) Third angle = 180° - 153° Third angle = 27°

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
