The measure of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio of 1:2:3. Find the measures.(Hint:The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180)

Question

8th grade math, Bad Teacher confuses students I need help.

Answer 1

Let x represent the smallest angle.  The 2nd angle would be 2 times the smallest (2x), and the 3rd angle would be 3 times the smallest (3x).

 

So...  1x + 2x +3x = 180  

 

Solve for x.  Then state all three angles: x, 2x, and 3x.
