Problema Solution
The measures of the angles of a triangle are 3 consecutive even numbers. Find the measure of each angle.
Answer provided by our tutors
the sum of angles in any triangle is 180 degrees
let 'x', an even number, represent the smallest angle, then 'x+2' and 'x+4' represent the next consecutive even numbers
180 = x + x+2 + x+4
174 = 3x
x = 174/3 = 58
the angles are 58, 60 and 62 degrees
