Question 1127351: One angle of a triangle measures 72 degrees more than the smallest, while a third angle is twice the smallest. Find the measure of each angle. Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The angles of EVERY triangle add up to 180 degrees.
Let the angles be A, B, and C
A = B+72
C = 2B
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
B+72+B+2B = 180
4B = 108
B = 27
A = 27+72 = 99
C = 2*27 = 54
