Question

What is the value of x?

Triangle V P M. Angle V is 47 degrees, angle P is 85 degrees, and angle M is x degrees.

Answer 1

SUM OF ANGLES OF A TRIANGLE

Before starting, we must know a property:

‎   ☞  The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees (180°).

Now, let's start. In the triangle VPM:

• ∠ V = 47°
• ∠ P = 85°
• ∠ M = x°

‎      ‏‏‎

The sum of these angles is 180°, so:

47° + 85° + x° = 180°

132° + x° = 180°

x° = 180° − 132°

x° = 48°

Angle M is 48 degrees.

‎      ‏‏‎

x = 48

The value of "x" is 48.
