Question 599587: 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? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
