So all of the internal angles of a triangle will add up to 180 degrees.  So if we add all of the expressions given and set them equal to 180, we can solve for x, then solve for each angle...

(2x + 1) + (3x - 3) + 9x = 180
2x + 3x + 9x + 1 - 3 = 180
14x - 2 = 180
14x = 182
x = 13

Now we can substitute 13 into each expression to find the value of each angle...

2x + 1 =
2(13) + 1 =
26 + 1 = 27 degrees

3x - 3 =
3(13) - 3 =
39 - 3 = 36 degrees

9x =
9(13) = 117 degrees

So the 3 angles are 27 degrees, 36 degrees, and 117 degrees.

The smallest is 27 degrees

** Note-- I don't see 27 degrees in the answer choices you gave, so I double checked my math (I didn't find any mistakes).  Please check to see that the question is written correctly (pay close attention to plus and minus signs).

Depreciation is the decrease or loss in value of an item due to age, wear, or market conditions. We usually consider depreciatio
Alik [6]

Answer:The value of the bulldozer after 3 years is $121950

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the straight line depreciation method. In this method, the value of the asset(bulldozer) is reduced linearly over its useful life until it reaches its salvage value. The formula is expressed as

Annual depreciation expense =

(Cost of the asset - salvage value)/useful life of the asset.

From the given information,

Useful life = 23 years

Salvage value of the bulldozer = $14950

Cost of the new bulldozer is $138000

Therefore

Annual depreciation = (138000 - 14950)/ 23 = $5350

The value of the bulldozer at any point would be V. Therefore

5350 = (138000 - V)/ t

5350t = 138000 - V

V = 138000 - 5350t

The value of the bulldozer after 3 years would be

V = 138000 - 5350×3 = $121950

Can you form a right triangle with the three lengths given? Why or why not? 4mi, 5mi, 6mi
Vladimir [108]
A right triangle must satisfy this equation: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 

a= shortest length
b=medium length
c=the longest length

a triangle with sides 4,5,6 will satisfy not this equation because:
4^2 + 5^2 ≠ 6^2 
16+25 = 41

41 ≠ 36

so the answer is C.

Hope this helps.

Which statements are always true regarding the diagram? Check all that apply. m∠3 + m∠4 = 180° m∠2 + m∠4 + m∠6 = 180° m∠2 + m∠4
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The true statements are:

m∠ 3 + m∠ 4 = 180° ⇒ 1st

m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 + m∠ 6 = 180° ⇒ 2nd

m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 = m∠ 5 ⇒ 3rd

Step-by-step explanation:

* Look to the attached diagram to answer the question

# m∠ 3 + m∠ 4 = 180°

∵ ∠ 3 and ∠ 4 formed a straight angle

∵ The measure of the straight angle is 180°

∴ m∠ 3 + m∠ 4 = 180° ⇒ <em>true</em>

# m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 + m∠ 6 = 180°

∵ ∠ 2 , ∠ 4 , ∠ 6 are the interior angles of the triangle

∵ The sum of the measures of interior angles of any Δ is 180°

∴ m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 + m∠ 6 = 180° ⇒ <em>true</em>

# m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 = m∠ 5

∵ In any Δ, the measure of the exterior angle at one vertex of the

  triangle equals the sum of the measures of the opposite interior

  angles of this vertex

∵ ∠ 5 is the exterior angle of the vertex of ∠ 6

∵ ∠2 and ∠ 4 are the opposite interior angles to ∠ 6

∴ m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 = m∠ 5 ⇒ <em>true </em>

# m∠1 + m∠2 = 90°

∵ ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 formed a straight angle

∵ The measure of the straight angle is 180°

∴ m∠1 + m∠2 = 90° ⇒ <em>Not true</em>

# m∠4 + m∠6 = m∠2

∵ ∠ 4 , ∠ 6 , ∠ 2 are the interior angles of a triangle

∵ There is no given about their measures

∴ We can not says that the sum of the measures of ∠ 4 and ∠ 6 is

  equal to the measure of ∠ 2

∴ m∠4 + m∠6 = m∠2 ⇒ <em>Not true</em>

<em></em>

# m∠2 + m∠6 = m∠5

∵ ∠ 5 is the exterior angle at the vertex of ∠ 6

∴ m∠ 2 + m∠ 6 = m∠ 5 ⇒ <em>Not true</em>
