Algebra.Com's Answer #169573 by drj(1380)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The second angle of a triangle is four times the first and the third is 5 degree more than twice the first. Find the measures of the angle.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. The sum of the three angles for a triangle is 180 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Let x be the first angle.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. Let 4x be the second angle since it's four times the first.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. Let 2x+5 be the third angle since it is 5 degrees more than twice the first.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 5. Then, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 6. Solving the equation \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 6. ANSWER: The angles of the triangle are 25, 100, and 55 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope the above steps were helpful.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For FREE Step-By-Step videos in Introduction to Algebra, please visit http://www.FreedomUniversity.TV/courses/IntroAlgebra and for Trigonometry visit http://www.FreedomUniversity.TV/courses/Trigonometry.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Good luck in your studies!\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Respectfully, \n" ); document.write( "Dr J \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
