Answer:
∠L = 43°
∠M = 121°
∠N = 16°
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Start by setting all sides equal to 180</u>
3x - 5 + 7x + 9 + x = 180
<u>Add like terms</u>
11x + 4 = 180
<u>Solve for x</u>
11x + 4 = 180
- 4 - 4
11x = 176
/ 11 /11
x = 16
<u>Now, plug in 16 for all instances of x on the triangle and solve.</u>
∠L = 43°
∠M = 121°
∠N = 16°
If x=girls,
then we have 3x boys.
We know that all children are boys+girls, so x+3x, which is 4x and 4x is 48, so one x is 12.
So there are 12 girls and 36 boys.
remember to use SOH CAH TOA. THE SOLUTION THAT I GOT CAME OUT AS 15/8
