The sum of the measures of the angles of any triangle is 180 degrees . In a certain triangle, the largest angle measures 55degrees less than twice the medium angle, and the smallest angle measures 25 degrees less than the medium angle. Find the measures of each of the three angles.

Respuesta :

Each of the three angles measures 75°, 65°, and 40°.

What is an angle measure?

An angle measure in geometry is the length of the angle created by two rays or arms meeting at a common vertex.

Here, we have

Let the largest angle be x degrees, the median y, and the smallest z.

x = 2y - 55

z = y - 25

x + y + z = 180

Substituting for x in the last equation:

2y - 55 + y + z = 180

3y + z = 235  

From the second equation:

- y + z = -25     Subtract this from the last equation:

4y = 260

y = 65 degrees

z = 65 - 25 = 40 degrees.

and x = 180 - 65 - 40 = 75 degrees.

Hence, each of the three angles measures 75°, 65°, and 40°.
