Question 13 • Mathematics II

If triangle ABC has a 130 degrees angle at vertex cap b , which statement must be true?

Answer
A
m angle cap A is equal to 20 degrees and m angle cap c is equal to 20 degrees
B
m angle cap A is equal to 15 degrees and m angle cap c is equal to 35 degrees
C
m angle cap A plus m angle cap c is equal to 50 degrees
D
m angle cap A plus m angle cap b is equal to 180 degrees

Explanation

The angles inside a triangle add up to 180°. Since angle B is 130°, angles A and C together must measure 180° − 130° = 50°. Therefore, the statement that m∠A + m∠C equals 50° must be true; their individual measures are not determined.
