Hi,
Make first angle = x
Second angle = x + 4
Third angle = 8 + 2x
Total degrees in a triangle = 180 degrees
Total up
x + x + 4 + 8 + 2x = 180
4x + 12 = 180
4x = 180 -12
4x = 168
x = 168/4
x = 42
Measure of first angle is 42 degrees
Measure of the second angle is 46 degrees
Measure of third angle is 92 degrees
Hope this helps :-)
