Add Angles in Triangle: First, let's add up all the angles in a triangle which should equal 180∘. We know one angle is 110∘, so let's call the other two angles 2x and 5x. The equation will be 110∘+2x+5x=180∘.
Combine Like Terms: Now, let's combine like terms 2x and 5x to simplify the equation. So we get 110°+7x=180°.
Solve for x: Next, we subtract 110° from both sides to solve for 7x. That gives us 7x=180°−110°, which simplifies to 7x=70°.
Find Value of x: Now, we divide both sides by 7 to find the value of x. So x=70°/7, which means x=10°.
Calculate Unknown Angles: Finally, we can find the measures of the two unknown angles by multiplying x by their respective ratios. The second angle is 2x, so 2×10∘=20∘. The third angle is 5x, so 5×10∘=50∘.
