A triangle has angle measures that are related as follows: -the largest angle is eight times the smallest angle -the middle angl
andriy [413]

Answer:

The angles are 15 degrees, 45 degrees and 120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle has three three sides and three angles. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

Let x = the size of the largest angle of the triangle

Let y = the size of the middle angle of the triangle

Let z = the size of the smallest angle of the triangle.

x + y + z = 180 - - - - -- - - - - - - 1

The size of the largest angle is eight times the size of the smallest angle.

This means

x = 8z

The size of the middle angle is triple the size of the smallest angle. This means

y = 3z

Put x = 8z and y = 3z in equation 1

8z + 3z + z= 180

12z = 180

z = 180/12 = 15

x = 8z = 8×15 = 120

y = 3z = 3 × 15 = 45

WITCHER [35]
12.6 million = 4p + 1 million
to solve:
12.6 million - 1 million = 4p + 1 million - 1 million
11.6 million/4 = 4p/4
2.9 million = p
the population in 1950 was approximately 2.6 million

Find the dimensions of a rectangle with perimeter 108 m whose area is as large as possible. (If both values are the same number,
V125BC [204]

Answer:

27 by 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides be x and y. The problem is essentially asking:

Given 2(x+y)=108, maximize xy.

We know that x+y=54. By the Arithmetic Mean - Geometric Mean inequality, we can see that \frac{x+y}{2} \ge \sqrt{xy. Substituting in x+y=54, we get 27\ge\sqrt{xy}, meaning that 729 \ge xy. Equality will only be obtained when x=y (in this case it will generate the maximum for xy), so setting x = y, we can see that x = y = 27. Hence, 27 is the answer you are looking for.
