Two angles of a triangle are 72degree53′51″ and 41degree22′50″ . Find ...
Solution:
To find the third angle of a triangle, we can use the fact that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
Given angles:
- Angle 1: 72° 53' 51"
- Angle 2: 41° 22' 50"
Converting Angles to Decimal Degrees:
Before we proceed, we need to convert the given angles from degrees, minutes, and seconds to decimal degrees.
To convert minutes to degrees, we divide the number of minutes by 60. Similarly, to convert seconds to degrees, we divide the number of seconds by 3600.
Angle 1:
72° 53' 51" = 72 + (53/60) + (51/3600) = 72.8975°
Angle 2:
41° 22' 50" = 41 + (22/60) + (50/3600) = 41.3806°
Calculating the Third Angle:
Now that we have the decimal degree values for the given angles, we can find the third angle by subtracting the sum of the two given angles from 180 degrees.
Third Angle:
Third Angle = 180° - (Angle 1 + Angle 2)
Substituting the values:
Third Angle = 180° - (72.8975° + 41.3806°)
Third Angle = 180° - 114.2781°
Third Angle = 65.7219°
Therefore, the third angle of the triangle is 65.7219 degrees.
Conclusion:
The third angle of the triangle is 65.7219 degrees.
