All the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
Since two of the angles are the same, we can write:
2A+B=180
Where 2A accounts for the two angles that are the same.
We are given the relation:
B=A+30
We can plug this into our first equation:
2A+A+30=180
Combine like terms and move the 30 to the other side:
3A=150
Divide both sides by 3:
A=50
We can solve for B by plugging A back into our relation:
B=50+30
B=80
To check: 80+50+50 so we are correct.

The angles in a triangle equal 180.
Two angles are the same so they are x + x + (× + 36) = 180
So, 3x + 36 = 180
Subtract 36 from both sides. 3x = 144
Divide each side by 3 x = 48
The angles are 48, 48, and 48 + 36= 84
The largest angle is 84.
