Algebra.Com's Answer #352951 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! in triangle ABC, the angle C is six times as large as angle A. The measure of angle B is 20 greater than that of angle A. Find the measure of the angles. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Let Angle A be \"x\" degrees \n" ); document.write( "Then Angle C is \"6x\" degrees \n" ); document.write( "And Angle B is \"x+20\" degrees \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "x + 6x + x+20 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "8x = 160 \n" ); document.write( "x = 20 degrees (Angle A) \n" ); document.write( "6x = 120 degrees (Angle C) \n" ); document.write( "x+20 = 40 degrees (Angle B) \n" ); document.write( "----------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "========= \n" ); document.write( " |
