One angle of a triangle measures 15 degrees less than twice the measure of a second angle. The third angle measures 33 degrees. Find the measure of the largest angle of the triangle.
We can write every angle in terms of the second angle. Also, we know that the angles in a triangle must add to 180 degrees.
(2x - 15) + x + 33 = 180
3x + 18 = 180
3x = 162
x = 54
The three angles's measures are 93 degrees, 54 degrees, and 33 degrees, respectively. The largest angle's measure is 93 degrees.
