The measures of the angles of a triangle are 2x, 3x, and 4x. What is the degree measure of the largest angle of the triangle? A.) 20° B.) 60° C.) 80° D.) 100°

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

what do you think ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

the sum of angles in the triangle is 180 degrees. always

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

and in your case this sum of angles is 2x+3x+4x

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So, 2x+3x+4x=180

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

then all you got to do, is to solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 20!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(yes, then you have to plug the value of x you found into "4x" to find the value of the largest triangle)
