The angles of a triangle are described as follows: Angle A is the largest angle; it's measure is twice the measure of Angle B. The measure of Angle C is 10 more than one-third of Angle B. Find the measures of angle B?

Answer:

[tex]\bold{\angle B = 51^\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] such that [tex]\angle A[/tex] is the largest.

[tex]\angle A[/tex] is equal twice of [tex]\angle B[/tex]

[tex]\angle C[/tex] is 10 more than one third of [tex]\angle B[/tex]

To find:

Measurement of [tex]\angle B[/tex].

Solution:

Let [tex]\angle B =x^\circ[/tex]

As per question statement:

[tex]\angle A = 2\times \angle B=2x^\circ[/tex]

[tex]\angle C = \dfrac{1}{3}\angle B +10= \dfrac{1}{3}x +10 ^\circ[/tex]

Using the angle sum property of a triangle i.e. sum of all the three internal angles is equal to [tex]180^\circ[/tex].

[tex]2x+x+\dfrac{1}{3}x+10 = 180\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10}{3}x =170\\\Rightarrow x = 51^\circ[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is:

[tex]\bold{\angle B = 51^\circ}[/tex]
