Measure of largest angle in a triangle is equals to 104 degrees.

What is triangle?

" Triangle is a 2 dimensional geometrical figure which has three sides and three vertices. Sum of all the angles of triangle is equals to 180°."

According to the question,

x represents the measure of first angle

y represents the measure of second angle

z represents the measure of third angle

Situation 1: First angle is 24 degree more than second angle , it represents the equation:

x = 24 + y               ____(1)

Situation 2: Third angle is four times the measure of second angle, it represents the equation:

z = 4y                       ___(2)

Situation 3: Total number of degree in a triangle is 180, it represents the equation :

x + y + z = 180°           ____(3)

Substitute the value of (1) and (2) in (3) we get,

24 + y + y + 4y = 180°

⇒ 6y + 24 = 180°

⇒ 6y = 180 - 24

⇒ 6y = 156

⇒ y = 26degrees

Therefore,

x = 24 + 26

  = 50 degrees

z = 4 × 26

  = 104 degrees

Hence, measure of largest angle in a triangle is equals to 104 degrees.
