In a triangle Angle B is five times larger than Angle A. Also, Angle C is four more than Angle B. Find the degrees in each angle.

Question

In a triangle Angle B is five times larger than Angle A. Also, Angle C is four more than Angle B. Find the degrees in each angle.

Answer 1

Let x = the measure of angle A

Ler 5x = the measure of angle B

Let 5x + 4 = the measure of angle C

x + 5x + 5x + 4 = 180

11x = 176

x = 16 

m∠A = 16º

m∠B = 5(16) = 80º

m∠C = 80 + 4 = 84º
