Algebra.Com's Answer #260811 by amoresroy(361) You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a triangular cross section of a roof, the seconf angle is twice as large as the first. The third angle is 20 greater than the first angle. how large are the angles? \n" ); document.write( "first angle = x \n" ); document.write( "second angle = 2x \n" ); document.write( "third angle = x+20\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the sum of 3 angles in a triangle is 180, the equation is \n" ); document.write( "x+2x+(x+20) = 180 \n" ); document.write( " 4x = 180 -20 \n" ); document.write( " x = 40\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 2x = 2(40) = 80 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " x+20 = 40+20 = 60\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The angles are 40, 80, & 60. \n" ); document.write( "The sum is 180. \n" ); document.write( " |
