Question 973790: The second angle of the triangle is five times the measure of the first and the third angle is 4 degrees less than twice the first. Find the measure of the second angle Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! first angle is x
second angle is 5x
third angle is 2x-4
all units are degrees
x+5x+2x-4=180
8x=184
x=23 degrees angle 1
115 degrees angle 2
42 degrees, angle 3
add to 180 degrees
