Question 422613: The measure of one angle of a triangle is 55 degrees. A second angle contains 2/3 as many degrees as the third angle. How many dgrees in the largest angle? Answer by Gogonati(855) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solution: Denote X degree the largest angle. The second angle is degree and the first angle is 55 degree. We know that the sum of the three angles is 180 degree. Therefore we write:
x = 75
Answer: The largest angle is 75 degree, The second angle is = 50 degree.
