Question 570413: the measure of the second angle in a triangle is four more than the measure of the first angle and the measure of the third angle is eight more than twice the measure of the first angle. Find the measure of each angle.
Let represent the measure of the first angle. Then the measure of the second angle must be and the measure of the third angle must be . The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any triangle is , so:
Solve for , then calculate and
