Angles/250433 (2009-12-15 21:43:40): The measure of the angles of a certain triangle are consecutive even integers Find their measures please and thank you

This is a word problem involving geometry.

We know that a triangle has angles summing to 180 degrees.

We know that three consecutive even integers can be set up as

x, x+2, x+4

Thus,

given

simplify

subtract 6 from both sides

divide by sides by 3 and find measure of smallest angle

So the three angles are 58, 60, 62 which add up to 180! Hope this helps! :)
