Question

The angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. The second angle is 6 degrees larger than the smallest angle. The third angle is 4 times as big as the smallest angle. Find the measure of the smallest angle (in degrees) degrees

Answer 1

The measure of the smallest angle A is 29°.

we know that the Sum of the measure of all the angles in the triangle is 180 degrees.

Let,  ∠ A = smallest angle

  ∠ B = A+6

 ∠ C = 4 (∠A)

So, we can write that,

∠ A + ∠ B +  ∠ C = 180°

∠A + (∠A+6) + 4∠A = 180°

6 +  ∠A + ∠ A + 4∠A = 180°

6 + 6 ∠A = 180°

6∠A = 180° - 6

6 ∠A = 174

∠A = 174/6

∠A = 29°

Hence, the smallest angle A is 29°
