Algebra.Com's Answer #315292 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! One angle in a triangle is half the largest angle but three times the smallest. Find all three angles. \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "Let the smallest angle be \"x\". \n" ); document.write( "Another angle is \"3x\" \n" ); document.write( "Largest is 2*3x = \"6x\" \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "x + 3x + 6x = 180 \n" ); document.write( "10x = 180 \n" ); document.write( "x = 18 degrees \n" ); document.write( "3x = 54 degrees \n" ); document.write( "6x = 108 degrees \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "===============\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
