The ratio of the measure of three different angles of a triangle is 1 1/4: 2 1/2: 4. Find the measure of each angle.
--------
(5/4)x + (5/2)x + 4x = 180
5x + 10x + 16x = 4*180
31x = 4*180
= 23.23
-----
angle:: (5/4)x = (5/4)*23.23 = 29.04 degrees
angle:: (5/2)x = 58.08 degrees
angle:: 4x = 92.92 degrees
