\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is a word problem involving geometry.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We know that a triangle has angles summing to 180 degrees.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We know that three consecutive even integers can be set up as
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x, x+2, x+4
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus,
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B4%29=180\" given
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B6=180\" simplify
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=174\" subtract 6 from both sides
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=58\" divide by sides by 3 and find measure of smallest angle
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the three angles are 58, 60, 62 which add up to 180! Hope this helps! :)
