The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is five times the measure of the first angle. The third angle is 30 more than the second. Let x, y, and z represent the measures of the first, second, and third angles, respectively. Find the measures of the three angles.

First angle = 30°

Second angle = 60°

Third angle = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 180

y + z = 5x

z = y + 30

then:

y + (y+30) = 5x

2y + 30 = 5x

x = (2y+30)/5

then:

x + y + z = 180

{(2y+30)/5} + y + y+30 = 180

{(2y+30)/5} + 2y + 30 = 180

{(2y+30)/5} = 180 - 30 - 2y

{(2y+30)/5} = 150 - 2y

2y+30 = 5(150-2y)

2y+30 = 5*150 + 5*-2y

2y+30 = 750 - 10y

2y + 10y = 750 - 30

12y = 720

y = 720/12

y = 60°

x = (2y+30)/5

x = (2*60 + 30)/5

x = (120+30)/5

x = 150/5

x = 30°

z = y + 30

z = 60 + 30

z = 90°

Check:

x + y + z = 180°

30° + 60° + 90° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
