The size of the largest angle in a triangle is 3 times the size of the smallest angle. The other angle is 35 more than the smallest angle.

Work out in degrees the size of each angle in the trianlge

You must show your working

a = 29

b = 64

c = 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angles be a (smallest), b, and c (largest).

We know that a triangle's angles must add up to 180 degrees, so we can construct the following equations.

a + b + c = 180

c = 3a

b = a +35

With some solving and substitution...

a + (a + 35) + c = 180

2a + c = 145

2a + (3a) = 145

5a = 145

a = 29

and therefore,

b = 29 + 35 = 64

c = 3(29) = 87

Let smallest angle be :x

So, the largest angle will be:3x

And the other angle will be :x+35

According to angle sum property of triangle,

x+3x+x+35=180

5x+35=180

5x=180-35

5x=145

x=(145/5)

Therefore, x=29

So, the smallest angle =x=29

The largest angle=3x=87

And the other angle=x+35=64

the answer is 5/14.

hope this .
