Let x be the measure of the smallest angle. \n" ); document.write( "Then \n" ); document.write( "The measure of the second angle is 4x. \n" ); document.write( "The measure of the third angle is x + 24. \n" ); document.write( "As their sum is 180°, we have \n" ); document.write( "x + 4x + x + 24 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "Solving for x, we have \n" ); document.write( "6x + 24 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "6x = 156 \n" ); document.write( "x = 26 \n" ); document.write( "So\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The measure of the smallest angle is 26 \n" ); document.write( "The measure of the second angle is 4x = 4*26 = 104 \n" ); document.write( "The measure of the third angle is x + 24 = 50. \n" ); document.write( " |
