SOLUTION: if two angles of a triangle has 5 to 12 the larger angle measures 60 what is the measure of the smaller angle

Question 623656: if two angles of a triangle has 5 to 12 the larger angle measures 60 what is the measure of the smaller angle

The ratios must remain the same. So 5/12 = x/60. | Cross multiply

300 = 12 x | Divide both sides by 12.

x = 25
