Question 309367: The second angle of a triangle is 3 times as large as the first. The third angle is 55 degrees more than the first. Find the measure of the smallest angle.
Here is something I have come up with:
a=3b
c=a+55
Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = smallest angle in your triangle
Let 3x = second angle as given
Let (x + 55) = third angle as given
The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
x + 3x + (x + 55) = 180
Solve for x and you shall have the answer.
Can you do it?
