Answer:
Let the three angles be 2x,9x & 4x
By the problem,2x+9x+4x=180
15x=180
x=180/15
x=12
there fore the angles are
2x= 2*12=24°
9x=108°
4x=48°

Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation: The number in front of your variable is called your coefficient so we say that 3 is the coeficient.
Make sure to understand that a variable

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height.
Replace are and base to get:
82.5 = 1/2 x 15 x height
Multiply both sides by 2:
165 = 15 x height
Divide both sides by 15:
Height = 165 / 15
Height = 11 inches.
