A triangle is such that the largest angle is three times the smallest angle. Find the measure of each angle

8 0

Let x represent the smallest angle. Then the largest is 3x, and the remaining angle is 180-4x. The problem statement tells us
.. 3x > 180 -4x > x
Adding 4x gives us
.. 7x > 180 > 5x
or
.. 36 > x > 180/7 = 25 5/7

The angles, smallest to largest, are
.. x, 4(45 -x), 3x
where 25 5/7 < x < 36

The angles could be, for example, any of ...
.. 26°, 76°, 78°
.. 30°, 60°, 90°
.. 32°, 52°, 96°
.. 35°, 40°, 105°
and an infinite number of other possibilities.

=======================================================

Explanation:

The author sells 21,000 books in the first month.

Then they sell 21,000*(1-0.12) = 21,000*(0.88) = 18,480 in the second month.

Then they sell 18,480*(1-0.12) = 18,480*(0.88) = 16,262.4 = 16,262 in the third month.

And so on. These values follow a geometric sequence with first term a = 21,000 and common ratio r = 0.88

We can think of the 0.88 as 88% of the original value (since losing 12%, we keep the remaining 88%)

-------------

Use the formula below to sum the first 9 terms of the geometric sequence

Plug in a = 21000 and r = 0.88

$S_n = a*\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}\\\\S_9 = 21000*\frac{1-0.88^9}{1-0.88}\\\\S_9 \approx 21000*\frac{0.6835216}{0.12}\\\\S_9 \approx 21000*5.6960133\\\\S_9 \approx 119,616.2793\\\\S_9 \approx 119,616\\\\$
