Answer:

The measure of the smallest angle is 30º

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angles be:

[tex]x \to[/tex] the first angle (the smallest)

[tex]y \to[/tex] the second angle

[tex]z \to[/tex] the third angle

So, we have:

[tex]y = 2x[/tex]

[tex]z=x + 60[/tex]

Required

Find x

The angles in a triangle is:

[tex]x + y +z = 180[/tex]

Substitute values for y and z

[tex]x + 2x +x + 60 = 180[/tex]

[tex]4x + 60 = 180[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]4x = 180-60[/tex]

[tex]4x = 120[/tex]

Divide by 4

[tex]x = 30[/tex]
