Question

In triangle WXY, the measure of angle W is 3 degrees less then the measure of angle X and the measure of angle Y is 6 degrees less than the measure of angle X. Find the measure of each angle

Answer 1

Answer:

X = 63°

W = 60°

Y = 57°

Step-by-step explanation:

W = X - 3

Y = X - 6

X + W + Y = 180    substitute

X + (X - 3) + ( X - 6) = 3 X - 9 = 180

3X = 189

X = 63

W = 60

Y = 57
