The second angle of a triangle is 3 times as large as the first. The third angle is more than the first. Find all three angles.

Answer 1

Welcome back. Ready to work together?

Answer 2

of course

Answer 3

First angle=F
Second angle=S
Third angle=T

F+S+T=180

S=3*F

T>F

Answer 4

i think you are missing something

Answer 5

Oh! Looks like myininaya's got this. He/she is good at this stuff. I'll pass it to them. :P

Answer 6

the third is more than the first?

Answer 7

no that is how the question was asked

Answer 8

It's missing information then. :(

Answer 9

so it cant be solved

Answer 10

well we have F+S+T=180
and S=3*F
F+3*F+T=180 <- we have two unknowns in this equation

Answer 11

you would need to know how much more than the first the third angle is.

Answer 12

4F+T=180

Answer 13

the third angle is ____ more than the first

Answer 14

how do i figure that out

Answer 15

is there something that should be in that blank

Answer 16

its not something you should figure out, it should be given to you. otherwise there isnt enough info.

Answer 17

its a question that was asked in my final

Answer 18

(It's like saying "Bill is 2 years older than Bob. How old is Bob?" Unless they tell you how old Bill is, we can't know how old Bob is.)
