One angle in a triangle has a measure that is three times as large as the smallest angle. The measure of the third angle is 30 degrees more than that of the smallest angle. Find the measure of the LARGEST angle.

Question

anonymous · Answer

let the smallest be x
can you express the other two angles in terms of x?

anonymous · Answer

this is what i got 3x+x=30

anonymous · Answer

the one that is three times as large as the smallest is x
the other one that is 30 more than the smallest is (30+x)
now just use the property of the sum of the angles in a triangle

anonymous · Answer

so is going to be like this x+x+30=180
