Let x be the smallest angle. \n" ); document.write( "The sum of interior angles of a triangle equal 180. \n" ); document.write( "x + 2x + (5x + 44) = 180 \n" ); document.write( "8x + 44 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "8x = 136 \n" ); document.write( "x = 17 \n" ); document.write( "Largest angle = 5x +44 \n" ); document.write( "--> 5(17) + 44 = 85 + 44 = 129 \n" ); document.write( "Measure of largest angle is 129 degrees. \n" ); document.write( " |
