One corner of a triangle is 18 degrees less than each of the other two. Find the corners of the triangle.

| Let this angle be x degrees, then both other angles are x + 18.
By the theorem of the sum of the angles of a triangle, in any triangle the sum of all its angles is equal to 180.
Let’s compose the equality:
x + (x + 18) + (x + 18) = 180;
3 * x + 36 = 180;
3x = 180 – 36;
3x = 144;
x = 144: 3;
x = 48 – one corner of the triangle;
x + 18 = 48 + 18 = 66 – the other two corners of the triangle.
Answer: 48, 66 and 66.
