Question 577693: If you are trying to find the measurement of angle C, and the measurement of angle B is 2a and measurement of angle A is a:
1) Find the measure of angle C of a triangle ABC if
a) measurement of angle A= a
b) measurement of angle B= 2a
Can you explain how to do it and solve the problem. Also if the problem said:
2) Find the measerement of angle C of a triangle is
a) measurement of angle A= 60 degrees+a
b) measurement of angle B= 60 degrees-a

If you are trying to find the measurement of angle C, and the measurement of angle B is 2a and measurement of angle A is a:
1) Find the measure of angle C of a triangle ABC if
a) measurement of angle A= a
b) measurement of angle B= 2a
Let C = measure of angle C.

C = 180 - (a + 2a)

C = 180 - 3a

Can you explain how to do it and solve the problem. Also if the problem said:
2) Find the measerement of angle C of a triangle is
a) measurement of angle A= 60 degrees+a
b) measurement of angle B= 60 degrees-a

Let C = measure of angle C.

C = 180 - (60 + a + 60 - a)

C = 180 - 120

C = 60 degress.

Done!
