the measures of the angles of a triangle are represented by 2x+15, x+20, and 3x+25. find the measures of the triangles​

Answer :

Answer:

55°, 40° and 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given triangle, the sum of its interior angles is equal to 180°.

Here, the interior angles are [tex]2x + 15, x+ 20[/tex] and [tex]3x +25[/tex].

∴ [tex]2x+15+x+20+3x+25=180\\6x+60=180\\6x=180-60\\6x=120\\x=20[/tex]

Now, plug in 20 for x and evaluate each angle.

So, [tex]2x+15= 2(20)+15=55[/tex]°

[tex]x+20=20+20=40[/tex]°

[tex]3x+25=3(20)+25=60+25=85[/tex]°

Therefore, the measures of the angles of the triangles are 55°, 40° and 85°.
