Question

There is a triangular parking lot at the local mall. The second angle of the triangular parking lot is six more than twice as large as the first angle. The third angle is equal to the sum of the other two angles. What are the measures of the three angles?

Answer 1

Answer:

The measure of the three angles are;

The first angle is 62°

The second angle is 28°

The third angle is 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The shape of the parking lot = Triangular

Let the angles of the triangle be given as follows

First angle = A

Second angle = B

Third angle = C

The given triangle interior angle dimensions are;

A = 6 + 2× B

C = A + B

However, we have;

A + B + C = 180° (Angle sum property for a triangle)

Therefore;

A + B + C = 180° gives;

C + C = 180° (Transitive property)

2·C = 180°

C = 180°/2 = 90°

C = 90°

However, C = A + B  therefore;

90° = A + B and, A = 6 + 2 × B, we get;

A + B = 90° (Symmetric property)

6 + 2× B + B = 90° (Substitution property)

6 + 3·B = 90°

3·B = 90° - 6° = 84°

B = 84°/3 = 28°

B = 28°

From, A = 6 + 2 × B, we have;

A = 6 + 2 × 28° = 62°

A = 62°

First angle = A = 62°

Second angle = B = 28°

Third angle = C = 90°

The measure of the three angles are;

First angle is 62°

Second angle is 28°

Third angle is 90°.
