Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First of all, we know the sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees:
1) A + B + C = 180
Since angle B is 5 times angle A we have:
2) B = 5A
And angle C is 18 (less or more? --not given in problem--assume more!) than 4 times angle A:
3) C = 4A + 18
We need to solve this system of equations.
Putting the value for B in 2) into 1) gives:
A + 5A + C = 180 -> 6A + C = 180.
Now solve for C and insert this value in equation 3):
C = 180 - 6A -> 180 - 6A = 4A + 18
Solve for A:
10A = 162 or A = 16.2 deg.
So B = 5*16.2 = 81 deg.
Therefore C = 4*16.2 + 18 = 82.8 deg.
