A home has a triangular backyard. The second angle of the triangle is 7 degrees more than the first angle. The third angle is 8 degrees more than three times the first angle. Find the angles of the triangular backyard

Answer 1

Draw a triangle and label all 3 angles. Let the first angle be x. How would you lable the 2nd and 3rd angles?

Answer 2

i don't know

Answer 3

its driving me nuts

Answer 4

this is a matter of algebra: representing quantities with letters and numbers both.

Going to draw a diagram?

Answer 5

Have you used the Draw utility (below) before?

how do i label

Answer 8

Are you able to edit my drawing? You obviously have to have somethign to label.

Answer 9

" The second angle of the triangle is 7 degrees more than the first angle. The third angle is 8 degrees more than three times the first angle." Choose any one angle and label it x.

Choose the next angle and label it x+7 (7 more than the first angle).
Label the last angle. How would you do that algebraically?

sorry, I need to get off the 'Net for 30 minutes, but will be back on by then, ....either I will continue to help you then or someone else may take over. You've got to label your diagram in such a way that i can see it.
