Question 524549: In triangle ABC, angle A is 116 degrees. The measure of angle B is three times the measure of angle C. Find the measure of angle B and C.
Thank you. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Hence the sum of B and C has to be 64 degrees (180 minus 116). Since B is three times C, you can say:
Solve for C. Then calculate 3C.
