Thank you so much for your help with this Found 2 solutions by ikleyn, MathTherapy:Answer by ikleyn(52803) (Show Source):
The proportion says that the angles are 2x, 5x and 11x, where "x" is their common measure.
The sum of a triangle interior angles is 180 degrees
2x + 5x + 11x = 180
18x = 180
x = 180/18 = 10 degrees.
ANSWER. The largest angle measure is 11*10 degrees = 110 degrres.
