Practicing Success
If the angles of a triangle are (x - 6) degree, (x + 26) degree and 8x degree, then what is the value of 2x? |
12 degrees 16 degrees 48 degrees 32 degrees |
32 degrees |
Calculations There are 3 angles of a triangle whose sum of all the angles are 180 degrees. According to the question, (x - 6) + (x + 26) + 8x = 180 ⇒ x + x + 8x - 6 + 26 = 180 ⇒ 10x + 20 = 180 ⇒ 10x = 160 ⇒ x = 16 The value of 2x is ⇒ 2x = 2 x 16 = 32 Therefore, the value of 2x is 32. |
