Find the measures of the angles of a triangle if the measure of one angle is twice the measure of a second angle and the third a

guapka [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle consists of 3 angles and sides. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. Let the angle be <A, <B and <C.

<A + <B + <C = 180° ...... 1

If the measure of one angle is twice the measure of a second angle then

<A = 2<B ...... 2

Also if the third angle measures 3 times the second angle decreased by 48, this is expressed as <C = 3<B-48............ 3

Substituting equations 2 and 3 into 1 will give;

(2<B) + <B + (3<B-48) = 180°

6<B- 48 = 180°

add 48 to both sides

6<B-48+48 = 180+48

6<B = 228

<B = 228/6

<B =38°

To get the other angles of the triangle;

Since <A = 2<B from equation 2;

<A = 2(38)

<A = 76°

Also <C = 3<B-48 from equation 3;

<C = 3(38)-48

<C = 114-48

<C = 66°

<em>Hence the measures of the angles of the triangle are 38°, 66° and 76°</em>

Given that $x \le -7,$ identify all the correct conclusions. (A) $3x \le -21.$ (B) $3x \ge -21.$ (C) $-3x \le 21.$ (D) $-3x \ge

exis [7]

Answer:

Options A and D are correct choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an inequality $x\leq -7$ and we are asked to find the correct options from our given choices.

Let us solve inequalities in our given options one by one to see which of these matches with our given inequality.

(A) $3x\leq -21$

$x\leq \frac{-21}{3}$

$x\leq -7$

We can see that option A gives the same answer as our given inequality, therefore, option A is the correct choice.

(B) $3x\geq -21$

$x\geq \frac{-21}{3}$

$x\geq -7$

This inequality represented in option C gives solution that x should be greater than or equal to -7, which is opposite to our given inequality, therefore, option B is incorrect.

(C) $-3x\leq 21$

Dividing inequality by a negative number swaps inequality sign.

$x\geq \frac{21}{-3}$

$x\geq -7$

This inequality gives solution that x should be greater than or equal to -7, which is opposite to our given inequality, therefore, option C is incorrect.

(D) $-3x\geq 21$
