Suppose a triangle has angles ZA, ZB, and ZC. If the measure of ZB three times the measure of ZA, and the measure of ZC is 5° greater than the measure of ZA, what are the measures of all three angles? Is the triangle a right triangle, an acute triangle, or an obtuse triangle?

Suppose a triangle has angles ZA,
ZB, and ZC.
If the measure of ZB three times the
measure of ZA, and the measure of
ZC is 5° greater than the measure
of ZA, what are the measures of all
three angles? Is the triangle a right
triangle, an acute triangle, or an
