Question

In a triangle the second angle measures twice the first and the third angle measures 5 more than the second. If the sum of the angles measures is 180 , find the measure of each angle

Answer 1

Angle 1 = 35

Angle 2 = 70

Angle 3 = 75

Explanation:

Let's define Angle 1 as x

Angle 1 = x

Angle 2 = 2x

Angle 3 = 2x + 5

x + 2x +2x + 5 = 180

5x + 5 = 180

5x = 175

x = 35

Angle 1 = 35

Angle 2 = 70

Angle 3 = 75
