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.
