Question

The measures of the angles of triangle XYZ are in the ratio 3:3:6. What are the measures of the angles?

Answer 1

Set up an equation equal to `180^o`

Explanation:

`3x+3x+6x=180`

`12x=180`

`x=180/12=15`

So, the measure of the angles are:

`3x=3xx15=45`
`3x=3xx15=45`
`6x=6xx15=90`

Hope that helped
