Answer:   10 cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Short Piece: x

Second Piece: 2x

Third Piece: 2x + 6


Short + Second +  Third = 56

  x     +     2x      + 2x + 6 = 56

                             5x + 6 = 56

                             5x       = 50

                               x        = 10

Find m∠MON<br> I have a hard time with theses
fredd [130]

Answer:

m∠MON = 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

m∠LON = 77°

m∠LOM = 9·x + 44°

m∠MON = 6·x + 3°

By angle addition postulate, we have;

m∠LON = m∠LOM + m∠MON

Therefore, by substituting the known values, we have;

∴ 77° = 9·x + 44° + 6·x + 3°

77° = 9·x + 44° + 6·x + 3° = 15·x + 47°

77° = 15·x + 47°

77° - 47° = 15·x

15·x = 77° - 47° = 30°

15·x = 30°

x = 30°/15 = 2°

x = 2°

Given that m∠MON = 6·x + 3° and x = 2°, we have;

m∠MON = 6 × 2° + 3° = 12° + 3° = 15°

m∠MON = 15°.
