Math Problem Statement
Solution
We are given a triangle with three angles: , , and . The sum of the angles in a triangle is always . So, we can set up the equation as follows:
Now, let's simplify and solve for :
-
Combine like terms:
-
Subtract 60 from both sides:
-
Divide by 3:
Now that we have , we can find the measures of the three angles:
- The first angle is given as .
- The second angle is .
- The third angle is .
Thus, the three angles of the triangle are , , and , which matches option C.
