In a triangle, one angle is three times the measure of the second angle. The
third angle is twice the measure of the second angle. What is the measure of
each angle?
-----------
Always let the smallest angle be "x".
Let that be the 2nd angle = x.
"one angle" = 3x
"third angle" = 2x
-----------------------
EQUATION:
x + 3x + 2x = 180
6x = 180
x = 30 (2nd angle)
2x = 60 (third angle)
3x = 90 (one angle)
