You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi,
*Note: the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
Let x be the smallest angle, then (x+90) and (x+30) are the other two.
.
x +(x+90) + (x+30)= 180
.
simplify and solve
3x +120 = 180
3x = 60
x = 20
.
50 = (x+30)
110 =(x+90)
20 degrees, 50 degrees, 110 degrees are the angles
.
check your answer
20 +50 110 = 180
