Which are the 3 angles of the triangle if the second angle is 20 degrees greater than the first and the 3rd angle is twice than the second?

Let's consider the values of the 3
angles:


x = the value in degrees, of the first
angle;


y = the value in degrees, of the second
angle;


z = the value in degree, of the third
angle.


The equation which express the constraint from
enunciation that the second angle is 20 degrees greater than the first angle,
is:


y = x+20, so x = y-20


The
third angle is twice than the second.


z =
2y


We know also that the sum of the angles in a triangle is
180 degrees.


x+y+z = 180


We'll
write each unknown depending on the second angle, y:


y-20 +
y + 2y = 180


4y = 180+20


4y =
200


y = 50
degrees


So, the first angle will
have:


x = y-20


x =
50-20


y = 30
degrees


The third angle is
:


z = 2y


z =
2*50


z = 100
degrees.

In Act III, scene 2, why may the establishment of Claudius's guilt be considered the crisis of the revenge plot?

The crisis of a drama usually proceeds and leads to the climax.  In Shakespeare's Hamlet , the proof that Claudius is guilty...
