Answer:

The measures of angles A, B, and C are respectively 21°, 125°, and 34°

Explanation:

Equations

We are given some conditions applying to the internal angles on a triangle ABC.

The measure of angle A is 13 less than the measure of angle C.

The measure of angle B is 11 less than 4 times the measure of angle C

Let x = measure of angle C

The first conditions states:


m\angle A = x-13

The second conditions states:


m\angle B = 4x-11

The sum of all angles must be 180°, thus:


x - 13 + 4x - 11 + x = 180

Simplifying:

6x -24 = 180

Adding 24:

6x = 204

Dividing by 6:

x = 204/6

x = 34


m\angle C = x = 34^\circ


m\angle B = 4x-11 = 4*34-11 = 125^\circ


m\angle A = x - 13 = 34 - 13 = 21^\circ

The measures of angles A, B, and C are respectively 21°, 125°, and 34°
