Question 261121: The second angle in a triangle is three times as large as the first. The third angle is one third as large as the second angle. One triangle equals 180 degrees. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The second angle in a triangle is three times as large as the first. The third angle is one third as large as the second angle. One triangle equals 180 degrees.
Let the first angle be x deg.
Second angle is 3 times first angle =3x
Third angle is 1/3 *3x =x
The sum of the angles of a triangle = 180 deg.
X+3x+x=180
5x=180
X=36
3x= 108
The angles are 36, 36 and 108 deg.
