The largest angle has to be smaller than 160 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the largest angle is 160 degrees, then the angle that it is 8 times larger than is equal to 160/8 = 20 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sum of these 2 angles is 180 degrees which forces the third angle to be 0 degrees which is not allowed since each angle of the triangle has to be greater than 0 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the largest angle has to be less than 160 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You will never be able to find the largest angle because, no matter how close you can get to 160 degrees, you will always be able to get a little closer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It's simpler to say that the largest angle has to be smaller than 160 degrees.\r
