SOLUTION: two angles of a triangle have equal measures but the third angles measure is 36 degrees less than the sum of the other two . find the measure of each angle of the triangle

Question 88170: two angles of a triangle have equal measures but the third angles measure is 36 degrees less than the sum of the other two . find the measure of each angle of the triangle
Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = measure of one of the equal angles
2x-36 = third angle

x + x + 2x-36 = 180
4x - 36= 180
4x -36+36= 180+36
4x = 216
x= 54 Degrees = Equal angles
2x-36 = 72 Degrees = Third angle

Check: 54+54+72= 180 degrees
