In triangle DEF measure of angle D equals 4x +2, measure of angle E equals 6x - 30 and measure F equals 3x. What type of triangle is DEF?
---------
Equation:
Sum of the angles = 180 degrees
4x+2 + 6x-30 + 3x = 180
13x - 8 = 180
13x = 188
x = 14.46 degrees
------
4x+2 = 4*14.46+2 = 59.85 degrees
----
6x-30 = 6*14.46-30 = 26.76 degrees
-
3x = 43.38 degrees
----
Triangle Type:: Scalene
