Answer:

-2 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the larger number to x, and the smaller to y. With these, we can set up our equations.

x = 2y + 8

x + y = 3x - 10

Now, we put the value of x into the second equation.

2y + 8 + y = 3(2y + 8) - 10

Now we can solve for y

3y + 8 = 6y + 24 - 10

3y + 8 = 6y + 14

8 = 3y + 14

-6 = 3y

-2 = y

Now that we have the smaller number, we can put it into the first equation and solve for the larger.

x = 2*-2 + 8

x = -4 + 8

x = 4

So your two numbers are -2 and 4.

3. If triangle ABC has the following measurements, find the measure of angle A.
klio [65]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  42.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

Side 'a' is the shortest of three unequal sides, so angle A will be the smallest angle in the triangle. Its measure can be found from the Law of Cosines.

  a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A)

  cos(A) = (b² +c² -a²)/(2bc) = (21² +25² -17²)/(2·21·25) = 777/1050

  A = arccos(777/1050) ≈ 42.3°

The measure of angle A is about 42.3°.

_____

<u><em>Additional comment</em></u>

The smallest angle in a triangle can never be greater than 60°. This lets you eliminate choices that exceed that value.
