Q. The sum of the measures of the angles of any triangle is 180180 degrees. In triangle ABC A B C , angles A A and B B have the same measure, while the measure of angle C C is 7272 degrees larger than each of A A and B B . What are the measures of the three angles?\newlineAngle A A is \square degrees.
  1. Define Angles A and B: Let's call the measure of angles A and B xx degrees. Since angle C is 7272 degrees larger than each of A and B, we can express angle C as x+72x + 72 degrees.
  2. Sum of Triangle Angles: Now, we know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180 degrees. So, we can write the equation: x+x+(x+72)=180x + x + (x + 72) = 180.
  3. Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation: 3x+72=1803x + 72 = 180.
  4. Isolate Variable Term: Subtract 7272 from both sides to isolate the variable term: 3x=180723x = 180 - 72.
  5. Calculate Value of x: Calculate the right side: 3x=1083x = 108.
  6. Find Angle C: Divide both sides by 33 to solve for x: x=108÷3x = 108 \div 3.
  7. Calculate Angle C: Calculate the value of xx: x=36x = 36 degrees. So, angles AA and BB are each 3636 degrees.
  8. Calculate Angle C: Calculate the value of xx: x=36x = 36 degrees. So, angles AA and BB are each 3636 degrees.Now, let's find the measure of angle CC by adding 7272 to the measure of angle AA or BB: Angle C=36+72C = 36 + 72.
  9. Calculate Angle C: Calculate the value of xx: x=36x = 36 degrees. So, angles AA and BB are each 3636 degrees.Now, let's find the measure of angle CC by adding 7272 to the measure of angle AA or BB: Angle C=36+72C = 36 + 72.Calculate the measure of angle CC: Angle x=36x = 3611 degrees.
