The measure of the smallest angle C is 85.

To find the measure of angle C, you need to set up an equation based on the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

The given angles are:

C=(15x+25)

A=(7x+22)

B=(10x+5)

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 , so:

C+A+B=180

Substitute the expressions for angles C, A, and B:

(15x+25)+(7x+22)+(10x+5)=180

Combine like terms:

32x+52=180

Now, solve for x:

32x=128

x=4

Now that you have the value of x, you can find the measure of the smallest angle C by plugging in x=4 into the expression for C:

C=(15x+25)

C=(15(4)+25)

C=60+25

C=85

So, the measure of the smallest angle C is 85.
