Determine the whether the sum of 7/8 and 4/9 is closest to 0,1,2,or 3

1 answer:

8 0

Whenever you add fractions it means you need a common denominator. The quickest way to find this number is to multiply the two denominators together (in this case 8 and 9).
So your new fractions are 63/72 and 32/72. When you add those you get 95/72.
Next simply divide the two numbers to get a decimal, so here we get: 1.31944...
So this number is closer to 1
Hope that helps!!

Answer:

Triangle 1: x = 80 degrees, acute

Triangle 2: x = 10 degrees, right

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle 1:

By the Sum of Interior Angles Theorem, all the angles inside the triangle adds up to 180 degrees. So, set up this equation:

$60 + 40 +x = 180$

Solve for x:

$100 + x = 180\\x = 80$

So, x = 80 degrees

Because all the angles are less than 90 degrees, this is an acute triangle.

Triangle 2:

By the Sum of Interior Angles Theorem, all the angles inside the triangle adds up to 180 degrees. So, set up this equation (with the right angle given):

$3x + 60 + 90 = 180$
