Question

In a triangle, the measure of the first angle is twice the measure of the second angle. The measure of the third angle is 88° more than the measure of the second angle

Use the fact that the sum of the measures of the three angles of a triangle is 180° to find the measure of each angle
The measure of the first angle is º
The measure of the second angle is
The measure of the third angle is nº

Answer 1

Explanation:

The measure of the second angle = n

The measure of the first angle = 2*n

The measure of the third angle = n + 88

==================

n + 2n + n + 88 = 180

4n + 88 = 180

4n = 180 - 88

4n = 92

n = 92/4

n = 23

============

second angle = 23

First angle = 2*23= 46

Third angle = 23 +88 = 111

The total is 180
