Answer:

smallest   angle measure 39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the three interior angles in a triangle is always 180°

x= smallest

x +x+24 + 2x = 180

4x +24 = 180

4x = 156

x = 39

Answer:

B. 39°

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 24 + 2x + x = 180 is the equation I'll use.

x + 24 + 2x + x = 180 {Step 1: Combine 2x, x, x to get 4x.}

4x + 24 = 180 {Step 2: Subtract 24 from both sides (180 - 24 = 156)}

4x = 180 - 24

4x = 156 {Step 3: Divide both sides by 4 (156 / 4 = 39)}

x = 156/4

x = 39

The smallest angle is 39°. (The other two angles are 63° and 78°, respectively.)
