I'm having trouble answering this question.
The smallest angle of a triangle is half as big as the middle angle. The largest angle is five times more than twice the middle angle. What are the measures of the angles?
This is what I did. I drew a triangle, I put 5x as the hypotenuse, 2x as the longer leg and 2.5x as the shorter leg. I was thinking this question looked like the Pythagorean Theorem.
Is this correct? If not, where did I go wrong. Thanks.
