Problema Solution
the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180. Find the three angles of the triangle if one angle is 4x the smallest angle, and the third is 24x greater than the smallest angle.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the smallest angle then the other two angles are 4x and 24x.
x + 4x + 24x = 180

x = 6.2 degrees
4x = 4*6.2 = 24.8 degrees
24x = 24*6.2 = 148.8 degrees
The angles in the triangle are 6.2 degrees, 24.8 degrees and 148.8 degrees.
