In a right triangle, the acute angles measure 2x + 50 and 3x degrees. What is the measure of the smallest angle of the triangle?

1 answer:

4 0

Since this is a right triangle the two acute angles must sum to 90 degrees because a triangle's angles must sum to 180 degrees.

2x+50+3x=90

5x+50=90

5x=40

x=8

So the smallest angle is 3x=3*8=24°

Yep... so they says that the area of the extended leaf is 18+6x... You know that the area is length into breath... here the breath doesn't change.. so it'll be 3ft... can get the length by dividing area by 3... that is 6+2x... Now the new length wil be 2times that plus the previous 6ft length
