Question : If the angles of a triangle are $( 2 x - 8 )^\circ, ( 2 x + 18 )^\circ$ and $6 x^\circ$. what is the value of $3 x$ (in degrees)?
Option 1: $17^\circ$
Option 2: $34^\circ$
Option 3: $51^\circ$
Option 4: $60^\circ$
Correct Answer: $51^\circ$
Solution :
The sum of the angles in a triangle is always $180^\circ$.
$⇒( 2 x - 8 )^\circ + ( 2 x + 18 )^\circ + 6 x^\circ = 180^\circ$
$⇒10x^\circ +10^\circ = 180^\circ$
$⇒x=17^\circ$
Therefore, the value of $3x$ is $3 \times 17^\circ = 51^\circ$.
Hence, the correct answer is $51^\circ$.
