Find the value of x in
The sum of the 3 angles of a triangle = 1800
1/3
Write an equation
Replace mP with 17
17
Replace mQ with 46
17 + 46
Define variable as mr
17 + 46 + mR
Bring down = 180
17 + 46 + mR = 180
Find the value of x in
Combine “like” terms
1/3
17 + 46 + mR = 180
63 Ask “what is being done to the variable”?
The variable is being added by 63
Do the inverse on both sides of the equal sign
Bring down + mR = 180
63 + mR = 180
Find the value of x in
Bring down 63
1/3
17 + 46 + mR = 180
63 63 + mR = 180
63
Subtract 63
63 - 63
Bring down + mR = 180
63 - 63 + mR = 180 Subtract 6363 - 63 + mR = 180 - 63
Combine “like” terms0 Bring down + mR =
0 + mR =
Combine “like” terms
0 + mR = 117
Find the value of x in
Use the Identity Property to add 0 + mR
1/3
17 + 46 + mR = 180
63 63 + mR = 180
63 63 - 63 63 - 63 + mR = 180 63 - 63 + mR = 180 - 63
0 0 + mR = 0 + mR = 117
mR = 117
Add dimensional analysis
mR = 1170 Answer:
Classify the triangle by its angles and its sides.
Answer: right, isosceles triangle

Isosceles triangle
Classify the triangle by its angles and its sides.
Answer: Obtuse, scalene triangle
3/3
Q is an obtuse angle
Angles
Obtuse triangle
No sides are congruent
Sides
Scalene triangle
