The sizes of the angles are 34° , 44° , 102°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

The size of the largest angle in a triangle is 3 times the size of the smallest angle
The third angle is 10° more than the smallest angle
The size of the third angle is x

We need to find the size of each angle in the triangle

∵ The size of the smallest angle = x°

∵ The size of the largest angle is 3 times the size of the smallest angle

∴ The size of the largest angle = x × 3 = (3x)°

∵ The third angle is 10° more than the smallest angle

∴ The size of the third angle = (x + 10)°

Add the size of the three angles and equate the sum by 180°

∵ The sum of the sizes of the interior angles of a Δ is 180°

∴ x + (3x) + (x + 10) = 180

∴ x + 3x + x + 10 = 180

- Add like terms

∴ 5x + 10 = 180

- Subtract 10 from both sides

∴ 5x = 170

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ x = 34

∵ x is the size of the smallest angle

∴ The size of the smallest angle is 34°

∵ 3x is the size of the largest angle

∴ The size of the largest angle = 3(34) = 102°

∵ x + 10 is the size of the third angle

∴ The size of the third angle = 34 + 10 = 44°

The sizes of the angles are 34° , 44° , 102°

suppose someone tells you that she has a triangle with sides having lengths 2.6,8.1 and 8.6. Is this a right triangle? why or wh

sveta [45]

If you're only provided with the lengths of a triangle, and you're asked to determine whether or not the triangle is right or not, you'll need to rely on the Pythagorean Theorem to help you out. In case you're rusty on it, the Pythagorean Theorem defines a relationship between the legs of a right triangle and its hypotenuse, the side opposite its right angle. That relationship is a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is its hypotenuse. To see if our triangle fits that requirement, we'll have to substitute its lengths into the equation.

How do we determine which length is the hypotenuse, though? Knowledge that the hypotenuse is always the longest length of a right triangle helps here, as we can clearly observe that 8.6 is the longest we've been given for this problem. The order we pick the legs in doesn't matter, since addition is commutative, and we'll get the same result regardless of the order we're adding a and b.

So, substituting our values in, we have:

(2.6)² + (8.1)² = (8.6)²

Performing the necessary calculations, we have:

6.76 + 65.61 = 73.96
72.37 ≠ 73.96

Failing this, we know that our triangle cannot be right, but we do know that 72.37 < 73.96, which tells us something about what kind of triangle it is. Imagine taking a regular right triangle and stretching its hypotenuse, keeping the legs a and b the same length. This has the fact of increasing the angle between a and b. Since the angle was already 90°, and it's only increased since then, we know that the triangle has to be obtuse, which is to say: yes, there's an angle in it larger than 90°.

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the

RUDIKE [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$1571

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that y is profit in dollars, the maximum value of y is revealed by a graph to be ...

ymax = $1571

The maximum profit the company can make is $1571 at a selling price of $45 each.

_____

The function can be written in vertex form as ...

y = -(x^2 -90x) -454

y = -(x^2 -90x +45^2) -454 +45^2

y = -(x -45)^2 +1571

Because the leading coefficient is negative, we know this vertex represents a maximum. (x, y) = (45, 1571) at the vertex. Maximum profit is $1571.
