Question 993251: If the measure of the third angle of the triangle is 15 degree more than the measure of either of the other two angles, find the measure of each angle of the triangle. Recall that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degree

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a=measure of each of the other angles
a+15=measure of third angle
.
a+a+a+15=180
3a=165
a=55
third angle=a+15degrees=55degrees+15 degrees=70 degrees
The first 2 angles each measure 55 degrees and the third angle is 70 degrees.
