Question 497906: The measure of one angle of a triangle is twice the measure of a second angle. The measure of the third angle is 12 less than the sum of the other two. Find the measures of the angles of the triangle. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A = 2x
B = x
C = x + 2x - 12
===========================================
2x + x + x + 2x -12 = 180 degrees.
6x = 12 = 180 degrees
6x =192
x = 28
============================================
A = 64 degrees
B = 32 degrees
C = 84 degrees
==========================================
64 + 32 + 84 = 180 degrees. This does check.
