Problema Solution

the second angle of a triangle is 3 times as large as the first. The third angle is 65 more than the first. Find the measure of the smallest angle.

Answer provided by our tutors

Let the first angle be x.

Then,

x+ 3x+65+x=180

or, 5x+65=180

or, 5x=180-65

or, 5x=115

or, x=115/5=23

Therefore, Answer=23
