Question

He size of the largest angle in a triangle, angle x, is 3 times the

of the smallest angle, angle y.
he other angle, angle z, is 37° less than angle x.
z=..
Vork out, in degrees, the size of angles x, y and z.
Your final line should say, x= ..., y=..

Answer 1

The size of angles x, y, and z in a triangle cannot be determined with the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the size of angle y as y. According to the problem, the size of angle x is 3 times the size of angle y, so x = 3y. Additionally, angle z is 37° less than angle x, so z = x - 37. We can now solve for the angles:

• Angle x = 3y
• Angle z = x - 37

To find the size of angles x, y, and z, we need to solve these equations simultaneously. Let's substitute x = 3y into the second equation:

Angle z = 3y - 37

We can now solve for y by setting the two equations for z equal:

3y - 37 = x - 37

3y = x

3y = 3y - 37

0 = -37

Since this equation has no solution, there is an error in the given problem or information provided. Please double-check the problem and try again.
