In a certain triangle the measure of the medium-sized angle is three times the measure of the smallest angle and half the measure of the largest angle. What are the measurements of the three angles?
-------
smallest angle: x
median-sized angle: 3x
largest angle: 6x
----
Equation:
x + 3x + 6x = 180 degrees
10x = 180
x = 18 degrees
3x = 54 degrees
6x = 108 degrees
