Answer:

The angles measures are [37.5°], [75°], and [67.5°]

Explanation:

Let us revise a fact about any triangle

  • In any triangle, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°

We will use this fact to solve the question

∵ The measures of the angles of the given triangle are x°, 2x°, (x + 30)°

→ By using the fact above, equate their sum by 180°

x + 2x + x + 30 = 180

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ (x + 2x + x) + 30 = 180

4x + 30 = 180

→ Subtract 30 from both sides

∴ 4x + 30 - 30 = 180 - 30

4x = 150

→ Divide both sides by 4 to find the value of x


(4x)/(4)=(150)/(4)

x = 37.5

→ Substitute x by 37.5 in each angle

= 37.5°

2x° = 2(37.5)° = 75°

(x + 30)° = (37.5 + 30)° = 67.5°

The angles measures are [37.5°], [75°], and [67.5°]

To justify the answer substitute x by 37.5 in the equation

∵ 4x + 30 = 180

∵ x = 37.5

Left side = 4(37.5) + 30 = 150 + 30 = 180

Right side = 180

∵ Left side = Right side

x = 37.5 is a correct answer.
