Algebra.Com's Answer #314771 by bucky(2189)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. The total of the three given angles is: \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "So you can say that the total of the three angles equals 180 degrees. Then solve for x and find each of the three angles: \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Solve for x by dividing both sides of this equation by 12 to get: \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Now that you know x is 15 degrees you can determine the three angles. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The first angle is 2x or 2 times 15 degrees. So this angle is 30 degrees. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The second angle is 4x or 4 times 15 degrees. So this angle is 60 degrees. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The last angle is 6x or 6 times 15 degrees. So this angle is 90 degrees. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "These results make it apparent that the triangle is a right triangle because one of the angles is 90 degrees. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps you to see how this problem can be worked. Make sure that you understand the method. Good luck with your math studies. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
