Answer: red is 21, green is 14 and blue is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the length of the red stick.

Let g represent the length of the green stick.

Let b represent the length of the blue stick.

The red one is three times as long as the blue. This means that

r = 3b

The green one is 7 inches longer than the blue. This means that

g = b + 7

The blue and green together are the same length as the red. This means that

b + g = r

g = r - b

Therefore

b + 7 = r - b

r = b + b + 7 =2b + 7

Substituting r= 3b into r = 2b + 7, it becomes

3b = 2b + 7

3b - 2b = 7

b = 7

r = 3b = 3 × 7 = 21

g = b + 7 = 7 + 7 = 14

Astronomers sometimes use angle measures divided into degrees,minutes,seconds one degree is equal to 60 seconds suppose that ∠j
wel
Ok, there are two scenarios here.

1) It's a typo and "<K" should be written as "<J"

if that is the case, we can convert from degrees,minutes,seconds >> degrees like so

48 +  \frac{26}{60} +  \frac{8}{3600}

once calculated, we get 48.43 degrees.

scenario 2)

<k is the third angle in a right triangle

this would mean that <j + <K + 90 = 180

from the first example, we know that <J = 48.43 degrees

Therefor 

48.43 + <k + 90 = 180

48.43 + 90 = 138.43

so 

138.43 + <k = 180


Therefor, <K = 41.57 degrees

I really hope this helps!!:)

I’m not a 100 percent but the answer is a because you have to subtract 3/2 - -13/2 which equals -16/2 and divide and u get -8

Please find the missing number for the surface area. I will mark brainiest if correct. 2.

It is 18 because it is a square so all the sides have to be the same so that would make it 18
