Question

Given the angle measures of a triangle are 3x + 6 degrees, 4x + 2 degrees and 10x + 2 degrees, determine the 3 angles in this triangle?

Answer 1

36,42,102

Explanation:

A triangle is 180° total so your equation to find x is:

3x+6+4x+2+10x+2=180°

17x+10=180

17x=170

x=10

to find the individual sides:

3(10)+6=36

4(10)+2=42

10(10)+2=102

to make sure this is right, add 36+42+102. It should equal 180 and it does
