Answer: 81</h3>
==============================================
Work Shown:
a = first term
a*(2/3) = (2/3)a= second term
(2/3)a*(2/3) = (4/9)a = third term
note how I multiplied each previous term by the common ratio (2/3) to get the next term
Add up the three terms
a + (2/3)a + (4/9)a = (9/9)a + (6/9)a + (4/9)a = (19/9)a
Set this equal to 171, which is what we want the first three terms to sum to, then solve for 'a'
(19/9)a = 171
a = (9/19)*171
a = 81 is the first term
------------------------------------
Checking the answer:
a = 81 = first term
(2/3)*a = (2/3)*81 = 54 = second term
(4/9)*a = (4/9)*81 = 36 = third term
adding up the three terms gets us
81+54+36 = 171
so we have confirmed the answer

Answer:
∠ SOU = 138°
Step-by-step explanation:
the opposite angles of a tangent kite are supplementary, sum to 180° , so
∠ SOU + ∠ STU = 180° , that is
∠ SOU + 42° = 180° ( subtract 42° from both sides )
∠ SOU = 138°

Step-by-step explanation:
5.The measure of smaller angle is 87 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
The provided angles are 3x degree and 2x + 25 degree.
Two angles are said to be Supplementary angles if their sum is 180 degree.
It is given that the provided angle are supplementary angles, thus
3x + 2x + 25 = 180
5x + 25 = 180
5x = 180 - 25
5x = 155
x = 31
Now, substitute the value of x in first angle i.e 3x.
3(31) = 93
Substitute the value of x in the second angle i.e 2x + 25
2(31) + 25 = 62 + 25 = 87
Hence, the measure of smaller angle is 87 degrees.
