Question

the diagram shows a triangle. what is the value of p? p = \square°

Explanation:

Step1: Sum triangle angles to 180°

$76 + 2p + 2p = 180$

Step2: Combine like terms

$76 + 4p = 180$

Step3: Isolate term with $p$

$4p = 180 - 76$
$4p = 104$

Step4: Solve for $p$

$p = \frac{104}{4}$

Answer:

$p = 26^\circ$
