anonymous · Answer

sorry i mean 308 / 948 I divided these two numbers

lgbasallote · Answer

The second angle of a triangle is 3 times as large as the first. The third angle is 55 degrees more then the first. Find all three angles.

anonymous · Answer

I got 25 degrees for the first angle, 75 degrees for the second angle and 80 degree for the third angle. is this right

lgbasallote · Answer

is this a triangle?

anonymous · Answer

yes

lgbasallote · Answer

let x = first angle
y = second angle
z = third angle

y = 3x
z = x + 55

x + y + z = 180
x + 3x +x + 55 = 180
5x + 55 = 180
5x = 125
x = 25

y = 25 x 3 = 75
z = 25 + 55 = 80

you're right
