one angle of a triange is 5 greater than the smallest angle the third angle is 25 less than twice the smallest angle. Fine the measures of the 3 angles.

Question

Solve problem - One angel of a triangle is 5 greater than the smallest angle and the third angle is 25 less than twice the smallest angle. Find the measures of all three angles

Answer 1

HI Jean,

Let the smallest angle be x and the other two y and z.

y=x+5

z=2x-25

x+y+z=180=x+x+5+2x-25

<=>4x-20=180

<=>4x=200 => x = 50

y=50+5=55

z=2850-25=75

 

50+55+75=180
