Sum of all angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. Therefore,

A + B + C = 180

Given that, A = 4x, B = 3x + 1, C = 7x + 11.

Hence, we can set up an equation as following:

4x + 3x + 1 + 7x + 11 = 180

14x + 12 = 180 Combine the like terms.

14x + 12 -12 = 180 - 12 Subtract 12 from each sides.

14x = 168

\frac{14x}{14} =\frac{168}{14} Divide each sides by 14.

So, x= 12.

Now by plug in x=12 in the given expressions of A, B and C we can get the measure of eah angles of the triangle. Therefore,

A = 4x = 4(12) = 48

B= 3x + 1= 3(12) + 1 = 36 + 1 = 37

C= 7x + 11 = 7(12) + 11 = 84 + 11 =95

From the above result we can see that C is the largest angle and B is the smallest angle.

There is a relationship of a triangle which state that the largest side is opposite side of the largest angle and similarly smallest side is opposite side of the smallest angle.

Here AB is the opposite side of the largest angle C. So, AB is the largest side.

Similarly AC is the smallest side.

So, the order from shortest to longest is B: AC, BC, AB

2. extreme or alarming importance; seriousness.

"crimes of the utmost gravity"

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. ... On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects.

Jamie is selling tickets at a whale watch at a local beach.The tickets cost $24.40 for an adult and $14.50 for a child.Jamie ear
wariber [46]
30% = .3

.3(24.40a + 14.50c)

24.40 = cost of adult ticket
14.50 = cost of child ticket
a = # of adult tickets sold
c = # of child tickets sold

.3 * 24.40a + .3 * 14.50c
answer: 7.32a + 4.35c
