Question

The measures of three angles of a triangle are given by `(8x- 5)° , (2x)°,` and `(3x - 10)°`. What is the measure of the largest angle?

Answer 1

The largest angle is `115^circ`

Explanation:

The total sum of the angles in a triangle is 180

so `(8x-5)+2x+(3x-10)=180`

`=>13x-15=180`

`=>13x=195`

`=>x=15`

Therefore the angles are `115^circ, 30^circ` and `35^circ`, The largest of which is `115^circ`.
