Problema Solution
A home has a triangular backyard. The second angle of the triangle is 5 more than the first angle. the third angle is 19 more than two times the first angle. Find the angles of the triangular yard
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the first angle
y = the second angle
z = the third angle
since x, y and z are angles of a triangle we have
x + y + z = 180
the second angle of the triangle is 5 more than the first angle
y = 5 + x
the third angle is 19 more than two times the first angle
z = 19 + 2x
by solving the system of equations
x + y + z = 180
y = 5 + x
z = 19 + 2x
we find
x = 39 degrees
y = 44 degrees
z = 97 degrees
the angles of the triangular yard are 39, 44 and 97 degrees respectfully.
