Question

the measure of an angle of a triangle are 6x, 4x+3 and x+1 find the measure of each angle

Answer 1

what's the sum of all internal angles in a triangle?

Answer 2

umm...is it 180

Answer 3

am i wrong

Answer 4

no, is correct

Answer 5

so we know that the angles are
6x
4x+3
x+1

and that all must sum up to 180, thus

(6x ) + ( 4x+3 ) + ( x+1 ) =180

solve for "x"

then apply its value once found to each :)

Answer 6

does x = 16

Answer 7

but do i have to substitute it in one of the equations

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

yes you do

Answer 10

their relationship is based on "x", thus

Answer 11

dont wana seem dumb or anything, but can i sub it in, in either one

Answer 12

well, the exercises says => \(\text{find the measure of}\color{blue}{\text{ each }} \text{angle}\)

Answer 13

lol true.. :)
