Answer: Yes they could.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two pairs of sides given are proportional: 3/7 : 9/21
The two triangles have the side:side ratio, meaning they are similar
Because they are similar, their hypotenuses <em>could</em> lie along the same line, not guaranteed, but possible.
Let x represent the smallest angle. Then the largest is 3x, and the remaining angle is 180-4x. The problem statement tells us
.. 3x > 180 -4x > x
Adding 4x gives us
.. 7x > 180 > 5x
or
.. 36 > x > 180/7 = 25 5/7
The angles, smallest to largest, are
.. x, 4(45 -x), 3x
where 25 5/7 < x < 36
The angles could be, for example, any of ...
.. 26°, 76°, 78°
.. 30°, 60°, 90°
.. 32°, 52°, 96°
.. 35°, 40°, 105°
and an infinite number of other possibilities.
Answer:
x² + x = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x then the square of this number is x²
Sum and equate to 42, that is
x² + x = 42
This can be solve by establishing equations.
let x be the miles mrs. storey drove
y be the miles mr storey drovee
the first equation is
y = 3x
second equation
x + y = 3200
then substitute equation 1
x + 3x = 3200
4x = 3200
x = 800 miles mrs storey drove
y = 3x = 2400 miles mr storey drove
