Answer: there were 15 tiles in each box

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tiles in each full box be x

Suppose, instead, that Bruce used 6 full boxes of tiles plus an additional 2 tiles. It means that he used a total of

(6x + 2) tiles

Suppose, that Felicia used 5 full boxes of tiles plus an additional 17 tiles. It means that he used a total of

(5x + 2) tiles.

If they each used the same number of tiles, it means that the total number of tiles used by Bruce = total number of tiles used by Felicia. Therefore,

6x + 2 = 5x + 17

6x - 5x = 17 - 2

x = 15

notsponge [240]
Since the three angles of a triangle add to give 180°

The the size of the largest angle 4 = 180° × \frac{4}{2+3+4}
                                                       =  180° × \frac{4}{9}

∴ the size of the largest angle = 80°
