x+2x+3x=180
6x=180
x=30degrees
2x=60degrees
3x=90degrees

Find the measure of each angle and classify the triangle by its angles.
-------------
Equation:
x + 2x + 3x = 6x = 180 degrees
x = 180/6 = 30 (A is 30 degrees (acute))
2x = 60 (B is 60 degrees (acute))
3x = 90 (C is 90 degrees (right angle))
