Answer:

The measures of the three interior angles of the triangle are {40,55,85}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = the measure of the first angle of the triangle.

Let b = the measure of the second angle of the triangle.

Let c = the measure of the third angle of the triangle.

The problem statement tells us that

(1) a = a

(2) b = a + 15 and

(3) c = a + 45

Now we (should) know that the sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Then we get

(4) a + b + c = 180 or by substitution we get

(5) a + (a + 15) + (a + 45) = 180 or

(6) a + a + 15 + a + 45 = 180 or

(7) 3*a + 60 = 180 or

(8) 3*a = 180 - 60 or

(9) 3*a = 120

 

Now divide both sides of (9) by 3 to get

(10) 3*a/3 = 120/3 or

(11) a = 40

Using (2) and (3) we get

(12) b = 40 + 15 or

(13) b = 55 and

(14) c = 40 + 45 or

(15) c = 55

Always check the answer. Use (4)

Is (40 + 55 + 85 = 180)?

Is (95 + 85 = 180)?

Is (180 = 180)? Yes

The measures of the three interior angles would be as follows:

40°,55°,85°

If we assume the first angle(∠1) to be [tex]x[/tex],

so, the second angle(∠2) [tex]= x + 15[/tex]

while the third angle(∠3) [tex]= x + 45[/tex]

Through the Angle Sum Property, we know:

∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180°

By applying the above expressions, we get

[tex]x + (x + 15) + (x + 45) = 180[/tex]°

⇒ [tex]3x + 60 = 180[/tex]

⇒ [tex]3x = 180 - 60[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = 120/3[/tex]

∵ [tex]x = 40[/tex]°

Therefore,

∠1 = 40°

∠2 = 40° + 15°

= 55°

∠3 = 40° + 45°

= 85°

Thus, the measures of the angles are 40°,55°, and 85°
