one angle of a triangle measures 12 degrees. the second angle's measurement is five times the third.what is the measure of the third angle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let x = measure of third angle so the second angle is 5x because "the second angle's measurement is five times the third" The first angle is 12 ------------------------------------------------------- All three angles in the triangle must add to 180 degrees, so 12 + 5x + x = 180 solve for x to get your answer

is 28 correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, x = 28

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
