Answer:

76 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angles be x, y and z

As per given:

  • x= 66
  • z = 57 + 1/2y
  • x+y+z = 180

Considering the first 2 equations in the third one:

  • 66 + y + 57 + 1/2y = 180
  • 1.5y = 180 - (66+57)
  • 1.5y = 57
  • y = 57/1.5
  • y = 38

So the third angle is:

  • z = 57 + 38/2 = 76 degrees
