4. The sum of ANY triangles interior angles is 180°. Use this fact to solve for x below.
x + 75 + 54 = 180
x + 129 = 180
x = 51
2x + 3x + 55 = 180
5x + 55 = 180
x = 25
5x = 125
4x – 1 + 3x + 90 = 180
7x + 89 = 180
x = 13
7x = 91
A = 30 un2
A = ½(12)(5)
A = 30 un2
A = ½(12)(5)
A = 30 un2
A = ½(12)(5)
