Question

In a triangle, the sum of the measures of the first two angles is 12 less than the measure of the third angle. In addition, the measure of the first angle is twice as big as the measure of the second angle. Create and solve a system of linear equations to represent this situation. Then select the true statement.

Answer 1

The measure of the three angles are  56, 28 , 192 degree

What is a Triangle ?

A triangle is a polygon with three sides , three vertices an three angles.

It is given to make system of equations

Let the measure of the first , second and third angle be x, y and z

the sum of the measures of the first two angles is 12 less than the measure of the third angle.

x +y = z -12  ----1

the measure of the first angle is twice as big as the measure of the second angle.

x = 2y

Now equation 1 will be

z - 3y = 12

x +y+z = 180

2y +y +z = 180

3y +z = 180 ----2

z - 3y = 12------3

On solving the system of equation 1, 2

2z = 192

z= 96 degree

3y = 180-96

y = 28

x = 56

Therefore the measure of the three angles area  56, 28 , 192 degree.
