Question

The angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. The second angle is 6 degrees larger than the smallest angle. The third angle is 4 times as big as the smallest angle. Find the measure of the smallest angle (in degrees) degrees

Answer 1

Let the first angle be y
y+(y+6)+(yx4)=180
y+y+4y+6=180
6y+6=180
6y=174
y=29

The first angle is 29
The second angle is 35
The third angle is 116

Hope this helps
