The sum of the measures of the angles in any triangle is 180°. Jacqueline has a triangular area in her back yard where she intends to create a garden. If the largest angle is five times the smallest and the middle angle is 20° more than twice the smallest, find the measure of each angle. (It may help to draw the triangle and label each angle.)

\n" ); document.write( "Let x = measure of smallest angle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "5x = largest angle
\n" ); document.write( "2x+20 = middle angle
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x + 5x + 2x+20 = 180
\n" ); document.write( "8x+20 = 180
