the measure of angle A of a triangle is twice the measure of angle B the measure of angle C is twice the measure of angle A write expressions for angle A and angle C in terms of angle B
-----------
Equations:
A + B + C = 180
A = 2B
C = 2A
-----
Substitute and solve for A:
A + A/2 + 2A = 180
(3 1/2)A = 180
A = 180(2/7)
A = 51.43
B = A/2 = 25.71
C = 2A = 102.86
