17x + 16x + 12x =180
45x = 180
x = 4
Largest angle = 17*4 = 68 degrees

Answer: $68^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the ratio of the all three angles is 17 : 16 : 12

Let the measurements of the angles are, 17 x, 16 x and 12 x

Where x is any positive number.

Since, the sum of all three angles is 180°

Therefore, $17 x + 16 x + 12 x = 180^{\circ}$

⇒ $45 x = 180$

⇒ $x = 4$

Thus, the measurement of the largest number = 17 x = 17 × 4 = 68°

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

There are four students: n = 4

Number of students to be selected: r = 2

To calculate the combination of 2 students to be chosen, we use:

$\begin{gathered} ^4C_2=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}=\frac{4!}{(4-2)!}=\frac{4!}{2!} \\ ^4C_2=\frac{4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}{2\cdot1}=\frac{4\cdot3}{1}=12 \\ ^4C_2=12 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, there 12 possible combinations from these

Drag and drop a phrase to make the statement true.

Lady bird [3.3K]

A similar because all triangles add up to 180 ,

they both have 80 so leaves 100 degrees left..

and they both have the same #'s 80, 60, & 40 degrees equal to 180 degrees

Write down the rules for multiplication and division of whole numbers

MAXImum [283]

As division is the inverse of multiplication, the rules for division are the same as the rules for multiplication. So when multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers remember this: If the signs are the same the answer is positive, if the signs are different the answer is negative.

In ΔNOP, the measure of ∠P=90°, the measure of ∠O=17°, and OP = 8.6 feet. Find the length of PN to the nearest tenth of a foot.

SVEN [57.7K]

The length of PN is 2.63 feet

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

Given:

∠P=90°,

∠O=17°,

OP = 8.6 feet

PN = ?

The given triangle is a right angle triangle as one angle is 90°

We know:

$tan \alpha = \frac{perpendicular}{base}$

$tan(17^o) = \frac{PN}{OP} \\\\0.3057 = \frac{PN}{8.6} \\\\PN = 0.3057 X 8.6 feet\\\\PN = 2.63 feet$

Therefore, the length of PN is 2.63 feet
