Problema Solution
The second angle of a triangular kite is four times as large as the first. The third angle is 65 degrees more than the sum of the other two angles. Find the measure of the second!
Answer provided by our tutors
let
a = the first angle of the triangular kite
b = the second angle of the triangular kite
c = the third angle of the triangular kite
a + b + c = 180
the second angle of a triangular kite is four times as large as the first
b = 4a
the third angle is 65 degrees more than the sum of the other two angles
c = 65 + (a + b)
by solving the system of equations
a + b + c = 180
b = 4a
c = 65 + (a + b)
we find
b = 46 degrees
