In a ΔABC, ∠A = x°, ∠B = (3x - 2)°, ∠C = y° and ∠C - ∠B = 9°. Find the three angles.
In a ∆ ABC,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
[∴ In any ∆ABC, the sum of all the angles is 180°]
⇒ x° + (3x - 2)° + y° = 180°
⇒ 4x° + y° = 182°.....(1)
and,
∠C - ∠B = 9° (Given)
⇒ - 3x° + y° = 7°.....(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get -
7x° = 175°
⇒ x° = 25°
Substituting the value of x° in equation (2), we get -
y° = 82°
Thus, ∠A = 25°, ∠B = 73° , ∠C = 82°
