One angle in a triangle has a measure that is three times as large as the smallest angle. The measure of the
third angle is 35 degrees more than that of the smallest angle. Find the measure of the LARGEST angle.
Find the Largest angle:

Answer 1

Sum of triangle angles = 180

smallest angle = x

second angle = 3x

third angle = x +35

180 = x + 3x + x + 35

145 = 5x

x = 29 is the smallest

the second is 87

the third is 64
