Math Problem Statement
In triangle ABC, the size of angle B is 44 times the size of angle A, and the size of angle C is 99degrees° less than 55 times the size of angle A. Find the size of the angles.
Solution
Let the size of angle be denoted as degrees.
Given:
- The size of angle is 44 times the size of angle , so angle .
- The size of angle is 99 degrees less than 55 times the size of angle , so angle .
We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees:
Substituting the expressions for , , and : Simplifying the equation: Adding 99 to both sides: Dividing by 100:
Now, we can calculate the sizes of the angles:
Therefore, the angles are:
