SOLUTION: The measure of the largest angle in a triangle is 20� less than the sum of the measures of the two smaller angles. The sum of the measures of the two larger angles is 90� greater t

Question 544924: The measure of the largest angle in a triangle is 20� less than the sum of the measures of the two smaller angles. The sum of the measures of the two larger angles is 90� greater than the measure of the smaller angle. Find the measure of each angle

let one small angle be x
& other be y
Largest angle = (x+y)-20
x+y+x+y-20=180
2x+2y=200
x+y=100
-------------
x+(x+y)-20=90+y
x+x+y-20=90+y
2x=110
x=55
y=45
the largest angle = 55+45-20=80
