Answer:

The two numbers are 23 and 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the two numbers are A and B.

We are told:

1) A+B=79

2) 3A+5B=283

Let's take the first expression and solve for A:

A+B=79

A=79-B

Now use this value of A in the second expression:

3A+5B=283

3(79-B)+5B=283

237-3B+5B=283

2B = 46

B = 23

Since B=23, we know from 1) that

A+B=79

A+23=79

A = 56

CHECK:

Does A+B=79?

56+23 = 79? YES

Does 3A+5B=283?

3(56)+5(23)=283

168 + 115 = 283? YES

Which list of angle measures could be the angle measures of a triangle?

Dovator [93]

Hello there! So the answer would be D: 35 degrees, 60 degrees and 85 degrees. We know this because angles in a triangle sum to 180 degrees. By simply adding each angle up, we can confirm that 35 + 60 + 85 = 180. :)

A triangle with exterior angles is shown. A triangle sits on a line and forms 2 exterior angles on the left and right of the tri

NARA [144]

Answer:

Option 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a triangle sits on a line and forms 2 exterior angles on the left and right of the triangle of (2h) degrees.

The top interior angle of the triangle is 40 degrees.

$\angle BAC=40$

From the given figure it is clear that

$\angle ABC+2h=180$ (Supplementary angle)

$\angle ABC=180-2h$

$\angle ACB+2h=180$ (Supplementary angle)

$\angle ACB=180-2h$

According to the angle sum property of triangle, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degree.

$\angle ABC+\angle ACB+\angle BAC=180$

$(180-2h)+(180-2h)+40=180$

Combine like terms.

$(180+180+40)+(-2h-2h)=180$

$400-4h=180$

$-4h=180-400$

$-4h=-220$

Divide both sides by -4.

$h=\frac{-220}{-4}$

$h=55$

The value of h is 55.

Therefore, the correct option is 3.
