Question

In triangle abc, the angle c is six times as large as angle

a. the measure of angle b is 60° greater than that of angle
a. find the measure of the angles.

Answer 1

the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees

a = 1st angle, b = 2nd angle, c = 3rd angle

c = 6a
b = a + 60
a + b + c = 180

a + (a + 60) + (6a) = 180
8a + 60 = 180
8a = 180 - 60
8a = 120
a = 120/8
a = 15 <=== here is one angle

b = a + 60
b = 15 + 60
b = 75 <=== and another one

c = 6a
c = 6(15)
c = 90 <=== and the last angle
