Question 654114: the largest angle of a triangle measures 4^o less than 5 times the measure of the smallest angle. The middle angle measures twice that of the smallest angle. find the measures of all three angles Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the largest angle of a triangle measures 4^o less than 5 times the measure of the smallest angle. The middle angle measures twice that of the smallest angle. find the measures of all three angles
----
smallest: x
largest: 5x-4
middle: 2x
-----
Equation:
x + (5x-4) + 2x = 180
8x = 184
x = 23 degrees (smallest)
2x = 46 degrees (middle)
5x-4 = 111 degrees (largest)
