Problema Solution
The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2:12:16. The sum of all the angles in a triangle must equal 180 degrees. What is the degree measure of each angle of the triangle?
Answer provided by our tutors
let '2x' represent one angle, then '12x' represents the second and '16x' represents the third
180 = 2x + 12x + 16x
solving for 'x' we have x=6
2*6 = 12
12 * 6 = 72
16 * 6 = 96
the angles are 12, 72 and 96
