Exploring Triangle Angles and the Sum Theorem

This video tutorial explains how to solve a triangle problem by finding the value of x and calculating the measures of missing angles. It begins with an introduction to the resources available at yourteacher.com, followed by a detailed problem statement. The tutorial then demonstrates setting up and solving an equation to find x, calculating the missing angles, and verifying the solution by ensuring the angles sum to 180 degrees.

What is the total sum of the angles in any triangle?

• 270 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 360 degrees

• 90 degrees

Which equation represents the sum of the angles in the given triangle?

• 12x + 8 + 55 + 8x - 3 = 360

• 12x + 8 + 55 + 8x - 3 = 270

• 12x + 8 + 55 + 8x - 3 = 180

• 12x + 8 + 55 + 8x - 3 = 90

What is the simplified form of the equation 12x + 8 + 55 + 8x - 3?

• 20x + 70
