the largest angle in a triangle is 50 degrees more than the smallest angle. the sum of the measures of the smaller 2 angles is 10 degrees more than the largest angle. find the measure of each angle
----------------------
Let the smallest angle = x
Then largest = x+50
---
x + 2nd = x+50+10
So 2nd = 60
========================
Equation:
x + 60 + x+50 = 180
2x + 110 = 180
2x = 70
x = 35 (smallest)
2nd = 60 degrees
x+50 = 85 degrees
==========================
