One angle of a triangle is 20⁰ larger than the smallest angle, and the third angle is 6 times as large as the smallest angle.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the measures of the three angles
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the smallest angle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It says,\"One angle of a triangle is 20⁰ larger than the smallest angle,\"
\n" ); document.write( "therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+20) = the other angle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Then it says,\"the third angle is 6 times as large as the smallest angle.\"
\n" ); document.write( "therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "6x = the largest angle
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "The total of all three angles has to be 180, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+20) + 6x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 180 - 20
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 160
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"160%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20 degrees is the smallest angle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you find the other two angles. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
