please tell me that this bloody problem don't have solutions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


given a triangle one angle is twice the measure of the other two angles ,what are the measures of the angles and what kind of triangle is it.

[awmalzo]

Can anyone worh out this for me thanks

Its very important and urgent to know the answer to this question.

I was called a retard and $%^£ of that.Want to know if I was right at the correct answer

Here ya go awmalzo. You're lucky I happened to drop by today.

The Problem
Given a triangle one angle is twice the measure of the other two angles, what are the measures of the angles and what kind of triangle is it.

The Solution
The sum of the degrees of each of the three angles of any triangle equals 180 degrees. We have 2*x + x + x = 180. So 4*x = 180. And x = 45 degrees. So the larger angle is 90 degrees and the other two angles are 45 degrees each. So this is a right triangle.

I can't understand the english of the part '' twice the measure of the other 2 angles''

Thus this means that the other 2 angles must be equal in size?

What I really want to understand is if that thing can mean aswell ''that the big angle is twice the sum of the other angles''

nno unless they made the assumption you knew it was a right triangle already

ok
