The measures of two angles of a triangle are 52 and 89. What is the measure of the third angle?

Answer 1

#39^@#

The sum of all angles of a triangle is always #180^@# regardless of its type. Let the missing angle be #x#. Then, #52^@ + 89^@ + x^@ = 180^@# Subtracting #52^@# and #89^@# from both sides, #=> x^@ = 180^@ - 89^@ - 52^@ = 180^@ - 141^@ = 39^@# #:.#The missing angle is #39^@#.

The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. To find the measure of the third angle, subtract the sum of the given angles from 180 degrees:

180° - (52° + 89°) = 180° - 141° = 39°.

So, the measure of the third angle is 39 degrees.

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.
